產品靜物攝影工作坊 - 瑪黑家居安和概念店
此台灣旅，只籌備一場攝影工作坊，為產品靜物。構思學員所需，規劃內容。常收詢問，居住環境雜物多且光源混亂，如何拍，是否得備多款背板與打燈器材？得一結論，此回工作坊得找個像家的場所才行，學員方好靈活運用課堂所學。
詢問瑪黑家居，得正面回覆，於台北安和概念店舉辦。瑪黑安和概念門市座落大安區，出捷運步行於林蔭樹下，唯幾分鐘，可張見優雅門面。先以行經路徑洗去塵擾，可寬納瑪黑補給之家居靈感。
全陳列空間整合斯堪地那維亞Scandinavian美感設計，引進數款丹麥家居品牌。其中&Tradition與ferm LIVING於我格外有感，因皆常見於德國選品店中，眼熟便感親切。
內空間以溫潤大地杏色營造舒適優雅氛圍，佐以開放式落地推窗牽引自然光入室，連接戶外綠庭，以視覺添增北歐自然人文體驗。
產品靜物攝影工作坊借此空間設計優勢，規劃四組拍攝場景。每景皆有巧思安排，可練光影、佈局、擺設、以人入鏡各環節。全場垂手可得之擺設器物，不只予我多樣靈感；信手捻來，更易於與學員分享拍攝技巧。
工作坊期間，見不同客群光臨。有單身女子嗅香氛瞧擺設單品，兩婦人品頭論足試坐單椅與沙發，有更多兩兩伴侶挑選配件燈品軟飾。有鍾意物件便攜回家，若無，吸取居家妝點靈氣，且增妙趣。
想藉此發文，分享簡易產品靜物拍攝法，亦可與瑪黑家居理念相輔成：
靜心觀察器物於俯拍、平視、四十五度等角度不同美感。
以較長焦段拍攝，可避免器物變形有失優雅美感；手機亦然。
留意不同角度光影，增添器物光澤與紋理質感。
暖色系器物可著重捕捉氛圍，冷色系物件可強調紋理細節。
後製時留意光影、暗黑與白亮層次。
瑪黑家居為此攝影工作坊協辦品牌，你或認為我美言回應。其實不然。你只需抽三十分鐘空檔前往，一探究竟，便可知我所言不假。任一角落皆可成景，隨一物件都為靈感。
許久未拍室內空間影像，老刀得磨，見成像，內心仍頗為欣喜。
For my recent trip to Taiwan, I organized a photography workshop focused on still life and product photography. Recognizing the importance of creating a conducive environment, I carefully selected a venue that felt like home, allowing participants to apply their learning effectively.
After reaching out to Store Marais, I received a positive response and secured the venue at their Anhe Concept Store in Taipei. Located in the Da'an District, just a few minutes' walk from the subway amidst a canopy of trees, the store boasts an elegant facade. The journey to the store itself washes away the hustle and bustle, allowing for a wide embrace of inspiration from Store Marais.
The entire space is integrated with Scandinavian aesthetics, featuring several Danish home decor brands, including &Tradition and ferm LIVING, which are familiar sights from German select shops, evoking a sense of familiarity for me.
With warm earthy tones creating a comfortable and elegant atmosphere, the open layout invites natural light indoors, connecting seamlessly with the outdoor greenery, enhancing the Nordic natural and cultural experience visually.
Leveraging the design advantages of this space, the photography workshop was meticulously planned with four shooting scenes, each ingeniously arranged to practice lighting, composition, arrangement, and incorporating people into the frame. The abundance of decor items readily available not only sparked diverse inspirations for me but also made it easier to share photography techniques with participants.
Throughout the workshop, a diverse clientele visited the store. Singles were drawn to fragrance testing and admiring individual items, while two women engaged in lively discussions while trying out chairs and sofas, and many pairs selected accessories and lamps together. Whether taking home a cherished item or simply absorbing the home decorating inspiration, everyone left with a touch of magic.
Through this post, I aim to share simple still life photography techniques that complement Store Marais's philosophy:
Carefully observe the beauty of objects from various angles: top-down, eye level, and at a forty-five-degree angle.
Use a longer focal length to avoid distortion and maintain elegance in object portrayal; this applies even when using a smartphone.
Pay attention to the interplay of light and shadow from different angles to enhance the gloss and texture of objects.
Warm-colored objects can capture ambiance, while cool-colored ones highlight texture details.
During post-processing, focus on balancing light, shadow, and contrast levels.
Store Marais is a co-host of this photography workshop, and while my words may seem embellished, a mere thirty-minute visit to the Anhe Concept Store will confirm their authenticity. Every corner is a potential scene, and every object is a wellspring of inspiration.
It's been a while since I've captured indoor space imagery, but like an old blade sharpened, viewing the images fills me with a profound sense of joy.
