I personally think that if you are new to photography, you’d better not worry about choosing a camera. You should put how to shoot to the first place. I have seen a lot of great photos taken with mobile phones. Therefore, I suggest that novices should not be too entangled with equipment and it will not be too late after the basic skills are mastered.
In this issue, I will talk about a simple shooting technique when I first started to do photography. Of course, I am also using this method now. No props are needed, and only a white background board is enough. This is a simple overhead shooting style, any photographic equipment can be used, because the depth of field is not very different, so novices can use mobile phones to master it well.
Shooting method and scene photos.
If you want to make the shadow a little lighter, you can also prepare a reflector.
Bring the whiteboard and the object to be photographed by the window when shooting. When the photo is required to have heavy shadows and high brightness, you can open the curtains to let the sunlight directly in. If you want the photo to be softer, you can pull the gauze curtains, the light will be good enough. I like natural light very much. I personally think it’s more comfortable to look at than lighting.
By adjusting the light, the color of the background whiteboard will be different, and the feeling created will be different. When shooting, you can simply shoot the object directly, or you can place multiple objects of the same color neatly with a kind of ins-style.
