How to make a good photo of a glossy phone

Every day the site has some good reviews of new and interesting gadgets. And if all the features of the device are usually described "perfectly well", then the photos of the gadget often do not stand up to scrutiny. Often you have to see something like this:
flash to forehead
But to get high-quality photos, even a glossy phone does not require any special tools, even the time spent on obtaining high-quality photos will be minimal. Everything you need is in almost every home, and you can take pictures on the phone, although even the simplest digital camera will give a better result.

Almost everyone is already familiar with the technique of shooting such items. For taking pictures without glare and reflections, photographers use a light cube - a fairly simple device from a frame with a white, light-diffusing fabric stretched over it.

Of course, you can just go and buy it in any photo shop, but not at all worse results can be achieved by spending significantly smaller amounts.

Option 1: We assemble a light cube of wire and paper.

The idea is simple: from the wire available in the household (you do not have a couple of meters of wire at home? So what you are doing on this site) we make a cube with a side of about 25 centimeters and paste it with ordinary writing paper. It looks awkward, but it works fine. Please note that the subject table is also located in the cube. It is made from a volume of Shakespeare (a folio in PHP also fits) and a curved sheet of paper and allows you to photograph objects in profile and at small angles, so that the background is white and uniform.

It took me about 10 minutes to assemble this design. We transfer the resulting building to the window, where there is bright sunlight, choose the appropriate angle and take a photo. If while you were messing with wire and scotch the sun has set, you can use an ordinary lamp, but then you have to work on “white balance”.

Here is an example of a photo made by an old, cheap Sony soap box using such a light-cube and natural light.

Option 2: Light-cube of the ceiling panels.

10 years ago there was a fashion to glue the ceiling with thin squares of foam-like material. Do you even have a couple of such panels left at home? Congratulations, they will make an excellent light cube. Even professional photographers often prefer them to those sold in photo shops. So if you photograph gadgets often enough, then it makes sense to buy a pack of such sheets in the nearest construction market, they cost only 100 rubles. Collecting photoboxing from them takes 30 seconds, disassembly takes the same amount.

After collecting the cube, place an object table out of a pair of books and a sheet of paper in it and start photographing. If the light is not enough, you can open one of the sides, but then the shadows will be a little sharper.

Here is an example of a photo taken in such a cube with one open side, the same Sony soap box.

Good luck to you photos. And leave the theme of carpets for home porn.
