Discover all the steps of the multi-angle shooting process on shoes:
Define your specifications
You can take a picture of a shoe or the pair. For this tutorial, we explain the steps to take photos of a pair of shoes from multiple angles.👠
Choose from which key angles to present your shoes:
Side view, ¾ front and rear, rear and top view.
Complete this series of photographs with one or more Close-ups (close-ups on various details of the shoe) . 🔍
Standardization : apply a consistent nomenclature for your files in order to facilitate their organization (ex.: Collection_bottes_25.png).
✨ Tip : Thanks to Orbitvu Station, save a profile of angles and settings for a specific type of shoe. That simplifies the following sessions.
Get your shoes ready
Make sure your products are flawless before you start:
Clean the shoes using cotton gloves, polishing cloth, and dust remover spray.🧺
Padding the inside with fabric or paper to structure the shoe and avoid creases. This preparation Reduces time required in post-production.
✨tip : Use smart devices, such as those of Studio Alphashot XL, which are automatically removed in the clipping process.
Position your shoes
📍 Place your shoes in the center of the photo studio turntable. Several references are available to assist you:
Use the positioning laserIntegrated t for precise alignment. Or the focal point of the studio turntable.
Activate the mode ”Phantom image“ to facilitate the exact reproduction of the placement for all your products.👻
✨Practical tip : Save an investment model in Orbitvu Station allows you to guarantee consistency and homogeneity for your entire collection.
Set up the camera and lighting
Choose an included value between 200 and 400 To set your ISOs, an aperture value between f/11 and f/14 for photos with no blurry areas. 📷
For speed, opt for a value more than 1/50 when you have, as here, several LED lighting sources. Adjust the intensity of the LED panels with the software Orbitvu Station for perfect lighting. 💡
Orbitvu studios like The Alphashot XL, allow individual light control for complex products, such as shiny leather shoes.
When you get the desired result, save them for reuse the same settings afterwards. 📂
