The Key to a Successful Product Photography Session
How Professional Photographers Handle Product Photography
Product photography is at the heart of many marketing and advertising campaigns. If you’re in the online shopping business, then you must be well aware of the impact pictures have on sales. In other words, if you want your business to succeed, then you have to start with advertising it properly. And for that, you need some good pictures of your products. As one of the most reputable photographers in the business, I will tell you a few tips and tricks on how to make your product photos really stand out.
Use the flash correctly
Since most photos are taken very close to the object, you must know how to use the flash correctly so that the light is is reflected in the right direction. Light is very important in product photography. If you want to take professional photos, then you need to invest in a set of proper lights. Additionally, if the products you are shooting are relatively small, then consider using a deflection box as well. A deflection box is nothing than a box made of a special material which dissipates light. Basically, you won’t have shadows and reflections in your pictures if you use a deflection box.
Learn how to use a tripod
Although most modern cameras come with all sorts of features such as image stabilization, or shaking-hand detection, it is still recommended that you use a tripod instead of shooting by holding the camera. Plus, a tripod can be extremely comfortable when shooting products.
Choose the right background
Since most product photos are processed in Photoshop or another type of photo editor, it is very important to choose a neutral background so that you will have a big color difference between the background and the object. Choosing the right background can help you cut and edit pictures in a much faster way.
