8 indoor photography tips

(1)the light is the key to indoor photography

Compared with other topics in terms of photography, interior photography light is critical. Before you start shooting all the light completely opened up, and then observes the environment to determine whether you need additional external auxiliary light source. My personal habits, I usually like to use natural light, but sometimes have to use an external auxiliary source. The so-called external auxiliary light source may be a small external flash, there may be a large lamp, I usually use a comprehensive equipment of both. On this point I will mention later in more detail point. I normally use in indoor photography look natural and true light, which means to avoid some of the large white area too, such as a door or window. Of course, the comparison of past publications, it has been able to accept this too white area, but still I usually try to avoid overexposure from these regions and let the viewer's attention the possibility of interference generated when the sub-picture look.

(2) the flash is your friend

As mentioned above, the flash is necessary in many cases, options such as the light is dim, or if you want to balance indoor and outdoor light in order to make the picture look more natural light and so on. Small external flash or similar Nikon SB900 Canon 580EXII can provide fast installation and lighting in the dark or poor lighting in the room. I also use a large lighting apparatus such as Alien Bees or Westcott Spiderlites. Lighting large lighting means wider, but the installation is too much trouble. So, before you have to want to beat up your lighting scheme.

In order to obtain good external lighting effects, whether small or large flash lights, I usually put it aligned with a horizontal plane, the plane may be the wall may be the ceiling, but usually leave the camera light cloth, not directly on top flash. Good lighting is usually achieved by trial and error, because each room is somewhat different light, so the light is not the same. Your first fixed camera on a tripod to try in the absence of an external light source, the light source and then try to add an external shot, do you think the result has been to take a good time on the line.

(3)the flash is your enemy

Yes, it is not wrong title. While flash may be helpful to your photos, but it is also possible that your worst nightmare. From a machine outside the flash is a need to be smart to use a powerful tool. As I mentioned above, I personally prefer to use natural light first, and then determine whether you need an external light source to fill light. Natural light can sometimes make a good picture, as the photo below, but it all depends on the weather conditions and the natural light. If they are not fine, you may need a long exposure, pay attention to windows and doors in this case is very easy to over-exposure. So, because you do not have an external light source to enter the room on the installation, and before you install the observation of how the light around, so perhaps better than using external flash.

(4)style is an important part of photography

Whether it is for a magazine or a real estate company indoor pictures, the room decor is filming the entire process needs to be noted that an important part. Like models need time to prepare to make the same studio shot, you need to clean the room again next shot.

(5)Everything is designed for

Usually when you take pictures indoors, there should be a clear reason, it is generally able to make this room look more attractive. So between you shoot, owner of the house should have a cloth boom. So, when you do not shoot the photo made into the room in most cases seen, but want to be made into a homeowner recognize portrayed as. Well, you do not mind moving under furniture, or things that little software installed. I had to get a good light and layout, move the sofa, and have managed to rearrange the living room too. Many things can be in PS repair, but it is best to put these things out timely and in front of the camera that took.

(6)multi-shot corner

This is an important skill indoor photography, and this technique is very simple: to shoot a corner of the room, this space often seems the most. This technique is further: from a lower position to shoot, shot with a wide-angle lens, but be careful not to be too broad, because that is too wide will produce some distortion effects. If you shoot directly to a wall, this wall shot out there may seem flat, but sometimes look a bit distorted. Throughout the interior mainstream magazines, you will find a corner of the room is the best shot out of places to see.

(7)let the pictures tell the story indoor

Capture its intrinsic characteristics through a unique way to tell a renovated personality and highlights. This suite is set if the old brick house, looking for unique detail to brick close-up look. If this is quite a modern building suite, you can look for the unique light effect or unique architectural details to show it. Indoor and outdoor architectural decoration both its story, so you have to try to find your customers and capture live its features. Under these principles, if a large number of false use of light, it would not like to see it as the usual.

(8)add a little creativity

This is a technique I often recommend to people skills a little more creative, and do not be afraid to try new things. There are many ways to try new things: such as the use of filters to hang out or use the zoom lens to shoot. In fact, each good photo are you to try out the results, you just shoot you from a lot of photos to pick up something you feel good out. For close-ups, the angle of the transformation may happen unexpectedly good results, but beware: it is possible to make the walls seem to look down.
