1. The main performance of light, layering and texture

The main expression of layering is the specific level of still life photography. To express it mainly, in addition to some game props, the focus is on exhaustion. For wood and stone with rough surfaces, the viewing angle should be low when taking pictures, and side backlighting should be used. For pottery, positive side light should be used as the dominant light, and soft light and refracted light should be used at the same time. In areas with texture, the back light should be reduced as much as possible; for leather, backlight and soft light are usually used to reflect the layering according to the back light of the leather product itself.

Soft light is suitable for mainly looming and gentle styles. Direct light is suitable for mainly expressing some hard objects, which is clear and powerful. Contour light The front face light is generally used as auxiliary light because it is not conducive to the layering of the main object.

Backlight can mainly express the outline of the object, and it is suitable for shooting objects that need to highlight the outline and pay attention to objects with a sense of translucency. However, because the total area of backlighting sunlight is small and the gap is strong, backlighting is rarely used as the key light in still life photography. The top light is most similar to the direction of direct natural light, and there is an almost certain feeling. Many works use this type of light as the key light.

 

2. Still life photography composition

In art painting and photography, the golden section line divides the front, back, left and right sides of the interface into three equal parts, and their four equal parts dividing lines cross into four points, which are all assigned the interesting center points of the work. Best location. Diagonal composition The diagonal composition is very impactful and cool. If used properly, the actual effect is very good.

The triangular composition is the general character type composition. It has a strong structure and is most suitable for the theme of calm and dignified expression. Scattered composition covers the entire interface with objects, and does not intentionally highlight an object. It is a completely loose composition structure. But he organizes the interface according to the relationship or color, so that the chaotic interface is placed in an orderly manner.

Contrast composition Contrast is an expression of composition, the polarization of contrast is widely used, contrasting color, layering contrast, size contrast, dim contrast, there are countless, and most of the works that can successfully apply contrast composition are extraordinary. 

Curved composition is relatively rare in still life photography, but it is very infectious, beautiful and charming, and is usually reflected in wireframes.
