Smartphones have been transformed into devices that are not only communication tools, but also capture moments with the presence of increasingly sophisticated built -in cameras. You must know how to use a smartphone camera for good results.
With the expansion of mobile phones, especially in the camera sector, which is available now, the quality is enough for a number of needs. There is no denying that this one tool can be a capable combat tool.
An example is taking a picture of a product or food that you want to sell through an online store. Before photographing these objects, there are a number of things to consider when photographing products or foods using a cell phone.
We worked with five elders to take pictures of products and food using cell phones. The thing to consider when photographing a product with a cell phone is lightness. No, that doesn’t mean you have to use large and expensive photographic lighting equipment.
A natural light source, aka the sun that passes through a window, if used properly, can even create a captivating photo. Here are five tips for photographing products using a cell phone.
Observe the direction of the light, either from the rear (rear light) or from the side (side light). According to him, light coming from the side or back can give dimension to the product or food you want to paint.
Regardless of the direction of the light, intensity must also be considered. Don't be too 'hard' or too soft. The distance of the product from the window can be adjusted according to the light intensity, about 1 meter. If the light is too harsh, you can take advantage of vitrage (transparent curtains) to reduce observation.
Make full use of the phone. Taking pictures using a cell phone is much easier than using a DSLR / without a mirror, because you don’t have to bother choosing a lens. You just need to optimize the settings in the camera menu.
Select the appropriate property. Properties can be selected color to match the background. But keep in mind, don’t exceed the size of the product to be photographed as it will divert ‘attention’ from the object you want to highlight.
Don't forget about the negative space. In our opinion, we should leave ‘empty space’ in the photo frame, aka don’t fill it with objects and various properties. This space can then be filled with various texts describing the object.
This attractive product photo is also mentioned as the most important aspect to attract potential buyers to click on the product.
In addition to photos, according to him, there are four important things that must be considered to attract potential buyers. That is, the product title, price, seller rating and seller label.
