Thank you! All glory goes to God.
Well, I only use prime lenses so I have quite a few things to learn about zoom. 🙂
Yes, actually product photography is the main portion of my business at the moment. Since the companies I photograph for tend to desire a more “organic” feel to the product photos, I haven’t had to use a lightbox in quite some time. You might try doing a “homemade” lightebox to see if you like to look before buying the full set-up. You can google “DIY photography Light Box” and find quite a variety of helpful tutorials. I still have a lot to learn in this area but 2 tips I usually give is make the photo visually appealing without “photo clutter” and taking the attention away from the subject/product. And always keep it really focused(obviously.) You want to draw the consumer’s eye to the product instantly and capture the attention of the consumer with a beautiful crisp photo!
Props are found in various places. It’s good to think outside the box when purchasing the props as you can save money and usually find something unique. For example, the lavender was from a local lavender farm, I used Mica gold dust and dried fall leaves for a fall photo shoot purchased from an online craft store, and I keep my eyes open for old crates from thrift-stores or garages sales(I’ve attached 2 images to demonstrate how I have incorporated these into a product photo). Hope this is somewhat helpful. Enjoy the product photography, it’s a fun challenging job!
