I tried shooting with a portable compact studio set 'WS-530B' that can take high quality pictures with a stable light source anywhere Review
When taking pictures of things such as food and gadgets, securing a shooting space with a stable light source can cause problems such as 'light is reflected on the subject' and 'the color of the subject cannot be captured correctly due to the influence of the lighting.' You can avoid situations and take high-quality photos. Even at GIGAZINE, I was thinking about introducing a folding studio set to improve the quality of photos by one step, and a reader sent me a compact studio set ' WS-530B ' via
LED Web Studio Set WS-530B (3-light type) - Digital and analog, LPL Co., Ltd. that contributes to two types of photography culture

WS-530B is a simple studio with a shooting box, 1 top light, and 2 side lights. Boxes and lights are easy to assemble and store, and can be carried anywhere to create a shooting space. The detailed assembly procedure for each part is explained at the link below. This time, I used the WS-530B to actually take pictures.
I tried assembling a compact studio set 'WS-530B' that can be assembled quickly and set up a shooting studio with a stable light source anywhere Review - GIGAZINE
First, let's shoot the following `` package of frozen food whose surface is easy to get shiny '' on the desk.
The pictures taken are below. The light from the fluorescent lamp is reflected, giving a glossy finish.
Next, I will shoot the same subject using the WS-530B.
The shooting result looks like this. The shine has been suppressed, and the entire package is now clearly visible.
I tried shooting other subjects that are easy to shine. Black Thunder's package also reduces light reflection.
I was able to take a picture of the spray can so that the contents of the label can be clearly read.
Next, I took a picture of a colorless and transparent cup. When shooting a transparent cup in a normal location, it tends to blend in with the background, but with the WS-530B, the light from the light source is diffused, giving it a clear outline.
Next, I turned the back cloth over, made the background black, and took a picture of a transparent cup.
The shooting results are below. I was able to take a clear picture of a colorless and transparent cup. With the WS-530B, you can change the background color simply by turning over the back cloth, so you can select the appropriate background for your subject.
This time, I tried to shoot a figure. By diffusing the light, you can shoot the predecessor without blackout. However, if you focus on your feet, you will be a little worried about the deflection of the cloth.
If you are concerned about the deflection of the cloth, prepare the base as follows.
The shooting result looks like this. It is recommended to use items such as bases appropriately according to the purpose of the photo.
Now that I know the features of the WS-530B, I started shooting various subjects.
Taken with iPhone 14. The logo on the back of recent iPhones is difficult to photograph depending on how the light hits it, but the WS-530B was able to capture the logo clearly.
I took a picture of the RAID board that was lying in the editorial department. I can clearly see each part.
Take a picture of the CPU fan package. Finish that can be used in online shops etc.
Gold alarm clock. The lighting and black background emphasize the gold glitter.
Take a picture of raw meat. When trying to shoot raw meat indoors, the colors can get messy, but with the WS-530B you can record the correct colors.
The WS-530B is relatively compact, so it can be installed even in extremely tight spaces such as the rear luggage compartment of a car.
The photo below was taken in the luggage compartment of a car, but I was able to capture it while securing a beautiful background and lighting with the WS-530B. With this, it seems easy to 'buy ice cream and take a beautiful picture before it melts'.
However, because of its compact size, it is difficult to shoot large subjects. For example, when I tried to shoot a 12-inch laptop, the wall surface was reflected.
When I actually took a lot of pictures with the WS-530B, I was able to quickly secure a stable light source in any location, and I was able to easily take high-quality pictures. There is no doubt that the quality of photos put in GIGAZINE's article will be improved by one step.
In addition, WS-530B is available at Amazon.co.jp at 49,809 yen including tax at the time of article creation.
