Does your idea of photography still include the wind-up disposable cameras at summer camp? Would you consider your experience taking selfies to be the bulk of your photography skills? Well, you’ve come to the right spot!
1.Use a tripod
Tripods might sound like a nerdy, unnecessary piece of technical equipment, but they make a huge difference in the clarity and quality of your product photography. And they are not necessarily expensive or difficult to use!
2.Take a basic photo editing class
While editing should be minimal in most cases, it’s still a necessary skill to have in your product photography handbook. Making some small edits – like tweaking the saturation or even masking small flaws within your product photograph – can make a real difference to the finished product.
3.Fill or bounce your light to soften shadows.
Whether you use natural light or artificial light, you’ll need to lessen the shadows that any potential hard light casts on the opposite end of a product.
