Today, photo galleries of the company's production have become popular on the websites of plants and factories. It is not surprising, because a person is proud of almost any of his victories, which everyone should know about: the three-millionth duvet cover, exceeding the quota, new Italian equipment, 5 years for the plant, etc.
And most importantly, capture the process itself: beautifully, solemnly, and people should look more than happy! Please note that these productions cost a lot of money, and if you are invited to photograph the production process, agree and agree to a rather large payment for your modest labor!
Photo Idea will tell you how to properly photograph production and the work process!
In general, production at an industrial enterprise looks unremarkable: at first glance it does not cause much excitement.
However, as soon as we see the work of a professional photographer, we immediately notice the scale of this production, the power of the machines, and the beauty of the industrial process!
So, let's begin?
What should be included in a photo report on the production of a plant/factory:
1. General view of the production (shooting from above, if possible - from a helicopter)
2. Internal production: workshops, warehouses, offices.
3. Happy workers at work.
4. Owner of production.
Remember safety precautions:
If they give you safety glasses, respirators, gas masks, or force you to put on a protective suit or helmet, don’t resist, put it on!
Are you a photographer! Your hands are very important and necessary (like any person). Therefore, don’t put your hands into production, there are workers there whom you’d better photograph in the process of work!
Take care not only of yourself, but also of your camera!
Don't forget that there are protective filters for cameras! Anything can happen in production, for example, sparks from an angle grinder can damage the camera lens, leaving small dots on the glass. Solvents and paint also do not bode well for the appearance of your camera.
Do not forget about other factors that occur in production: aggressive environments of chemical production, high temperatures and powerful electromagnetic radiation. These factors can damage your equipment.
Photographing objects on the production site.
Objects can be different: it can be a concrete mixer, a crane, a machine for making parts, or a workshop where work is done with casting molds from liquid metal.
In production, you may need both a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens, macro photography is also possible, depending on the subject you are going to photograph! Therefore our advice: Take as many lenses as possible to cover the entire range of focal lengths.
Working with bright flashes and light sources.
Almost any photo shoot in almost any production includes shots with flashes, sparks, light, laser beams and burning metal. We can immediately reassure owners of SLR cameras - you have nothing to fear: your camera will not be damaged. The advantage of SLR cameras is that the matrix is open only for the duration of the exposure. And owners of point-and-shoot cameras actually risk losing their “photo assistant” forever.
In the process of shooting production, do not forget about the basic photographic techniques that you have long used when photographing other genres: this way you will emphasize individuality of YOUR work.
A little about the tripod.
A tripod will definitely come in handy. BUT remember that in production there is often vibration on the ground and in the air; in many industries everything moves: the floor, stairs, fences. A tripod will not help you here, but will only complicate your “shaky” position.
Work as a director!
Working with the production team/workers is the most fun part of the entire photo shoot. Here you can show all your directorial abilities. Your task is to show: the complexity of the process! And these are thoughtful faces; this is a process in which more than a dozen people are involved, this is an attentive look, etc.
Please ensure that the person is in clean work uniform and, of course, smiling! He is happy that he works at THIS plant!
In heavy production, the main thing is people. Show the workforce of an industrial plant.
? Even the most experienced photographer would probably be baffled by something like this. Reasoning will begin that is incomprehensible to a beginner: what, they say, are needed, four of them, and then you need to look at what to photograph - this depends on what to buy for use. And the culmination of the reasoning may even be that it is generally better to start with one illuminator. Having only one lighting fixture in his arsenal, a beginner will quickly figure it out, understand and decide what equipment for a photo studio and what kind of light he needs to buy, and how professionals generally handle studio light.
But many years of sales experience suggests that the requirements of beginners who want to join are simpler:
- small but sufficient power of devices;
- versatility;
- low price.
It’s rare that someone will immediately say: “I will only do subject photography, and I’m not interested in portraits.” The neophyte wants to try all types of studio shooting. Which one should you choose then? What to prefer - a set of pulsed light or constant? The main thing is to ask the right questions. So, the main questions that you need to answer yourself are as follows:
- budget size;
- what camera do you have;
- How skilled a user are you?
The available budget will tell you which class of devices to choose, the quality and quantity of accessories. A camera, and the ability to use it, helps determine which one to choose. - or . If your photographic skills can be improved fairly quickly, then changing a camera on a small budget is most often critical.
Let's look at the issue in more detail.
If you have a compact camera that cannot shoot in manual mode and does not have a hot shoe, then only constant light will suit you for shooting in the studio. Or, before, you will have to change the camera to a SLR. Don't look for workarounds, you won't match the pulsed light with your point-and-shoot. This will be torture!
If you don’t yet know what shutter speed, aperture and manual mode are, you are quite happy that everything on the camera can be done with one button - your choice, again, should be only constant light.
If the photographer’s enthusiasm is enough to study the instructions for the DSLR, then you can already think about purchasing a studio light kit for a photo studio with a pulsed source?
And, of course, if you are an experienced user of your SLR camera, you know what exposure is and the word “stop” does not make you want to stop, but only the question “how many stops?”, then all the paths of the studio dao are open to you!
If you cannot make a choice, you should contact the specialists of the Photogora store, here you will be given qualified advice over the phone. And we, the Photogor blog team, will definitely continue to do reviews in which you can read about different studio lighting products; compare brands and studio light kits to make it easier for photographers to make the right choice. Follow our reviews here on the website. And if you are registered on social networks, then subscribe to our groups to quickly receive the latest information.
Let's look at the basic properties of pulsed and continuous light.
How to make a choice?
Today the choice lies in two things.
Firstly, the price/quality of studio lights. In principle, as in any production, among studio equipment manufacturers there are: justifiably well-known brands; popular brands; there are new, little-known, but high-quality ones.
Secondly, an important factor is the functionality of the illuminators. From this point of view, there are also a lot of parameters that affect functionality. It will suffice to give a simple example. The most famous parameter of any illuminator is power adjustment. So even this is not the case with all devices, but this is one of the main parameters that helps the photographer control the light. Whether it's pulsed light or constant light. The presence of adjustment is a definite plus, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the depth of adjustment. On the simplest, amateur devices, you can often see a value of 1/8 of the full power; modern professional illuminators already have 1/128. And if 1/8 allows you to control light within 4 apertures, then 1/128 up to 8 apertures.
That’s why, even a seemingly powerful, but non-adjustable light source from a well-known manufacturer may not be much more interesting for working in a studio than a construction spotlight.

The business card of an online store is product images. Proper presentation not only demonstrates the assortment, it encourages the visitor to make a purchase from you. Where can I find suitable photos? You can borrow them from competitors, on the manufacturer’s website, or scan printed catalogs, brochures, hire a subject photographer, or make them yourself. Let's look at the last option in more detail.
Which camera is suitable?
The first step to quality photos is having the right equipment. You can find advice on choosing on the Internet; the cost of purchase starts from $300. An economical solution: borrow a camera from acquaintances or friends, find a photographer who will agree to rent out the equipment.
For product photography, frame clarity is important, so it is highly recommended to get a tripod. It will help significantly improve the sharpness of images. Is such a purchase not included in the budget? Show your imagination by modifying surrounding objects for a tripod: books, chairs, tables, any stable structures at hand.
Good news: even using a 12 MP smartphone camera, you can take great photos. Thus, at the presentation of the iPhone 7, photographs were shown that were in no way inferior to photographs taken with professional equipment. You can even shoot a wedding with your iPhone and get professional-quality photos. For product photos, you just need to navigate through the basic manual mode settings. But you will still need a tripod and good lighting.
Lighting for product photography
One of the important aspects of product photography is high-quality light. Photographers use terms such as “soft” and “hard” light to describe it. Soft implies light, diffused shadows, while hard, on the contrary, implies sharp and dark shadows. To demonstrate the products of an online store, soft light is relevant: it is more pleasant for visual perception.
To avoid unpleasant embarrassments associated with poor light quality, use balancing devices:
- flash;
- reflector;
- softbox;
- light cube
If everyone knows about the flash, then the characteristics of the remaining attributes need to be sorted out. A reflector is a mobile structure made of a frame and reflective material stretched over it. Reflectors differ in size, shape, properties, and number of reflective surfaces. The price range starts from $20.
A softbox, in simple terms, is an attachment to a light source that creates a diffuse effect, which eliminates unwanted hard light and bright glare. Depending on the size, type, and other characteristics, the price ranges from a few to $1000. If you wish, you can create this irreplaceable thing with your own hands. To build a softbox, you will need: cardboard, aluminum foil, glue, masking tape, screws, nuts, black paint, plus just a little free time. Detailed instructions or master classes can be found on the Internet. Accordingly, you will get an amazing alternative to a cheap softbox purchased, and its quality will be no worse than the factory sample.
A lightcube (lightbox) is a structure made of plastic or metal frames in the form of a cube, on each side of which a translucent fabric is stretched to scatter light. The product is placed inside such a light box and photographed. The price for cubes starts from $10, depending on the size and materials used.
Lightcube is appropriate if you:
- I like the white background in the picture;
- I want to have my own “mini-studio”;
- Interesting in subject/macro photography;
Lightbox will solve the problems of poor indoor lighting. This is its main advantage. You can also make a lightbox with your own hands from scrap materials.
Background question or what to place objects on?
Don't forget about a suitable background for your shoot. It plays an important role in the overall result of the photo shoot. A simple, pleasant background will not distract attention from the product you intend to sell. A flat, plain wall, plastic, A3 format paper is an excellent choice for these purposes. You shouldn't take the fabric - its texture is clearly visible in the photo.
It is advisable to think about the compatibility of the background with the subject, which logically leads to a competent choice of colors. You can choose both neutral shades and those that can complement the color scheme of the product. It should be noted that for products of light shades a white background is not used - the object will simply be lost on it. It's also important to remember:
- Blue color is beneficial for light objects due to its contrast. The white and beige shades are noticeable on it. The item stands out, does not blend in, and is easily perceived by potential buyers.
- Be careful with a red background: it is a bright, aggressive color. It can be an excellent sales tool (after all, it is known that colors affect perception and the psyche). However, remember: burgundy is gloomy, scarlet is too bright, raspberry is too flashy. It is better to choose calmer shades and make sure that they do not “overwhelm” the products offered and are combined with the background of the online store pages.
- Green is the most profitable in terms of sales, because it encourages a person to make a purchase. The optimal color is a juicy light green shade, the color of young foliage. Use emerald carefully - it is also too dark for product photography.
- Yellow. Lemon, lime, canary - no. Pear, saffron, golden, pale yellow, mustard, ocher - yes. Such colors are pleasant, fresh, and easy to perceive; they can complement violet, indigo, and some shades of green to their advantage.
As a guide to the correct combination of colors and building a composition in a frame, you can use well-known Chinese sites: Aliexpress, TaoBao. It is there that a considerable part of the products is photographed from a very favorable angle, which clearly demonstrates the advantages and hides some of the disadvantages of the products.
It is recommended to consider in advance the presence of a monochromatic horizontal surface. For this, for example, a piece of black velvet would be quite suitable, since due to its texture/color it has the property of absorbing light without forming glare.
Photo processing
There are many programs for working with pictures. With the help of graphic editors, all sorts of actions are carried out: leveling light, brightness, horizon line, contrast, color rendering, and a lot of other operations. All this has a positive effect on the visual appeal of graphic content. The most popular editing service is, of course, Photoshop. This is a multi-functional tool that even professional photographers use.
A “simpler” thing can be called Paint. It doesn’t provide huge capabilities, but you can crop, rotate, flip the image, and add text.
If you don’t go from one extreme to another and use services that are average in functionality, the following options deserve attention:
The auto-correction function, which is present in all presented tools, stands out separately. It speeds up the process of bringing a photo into a “marketable” form, automatically improving the white balance, making color rendition natural. Conclusion: without processing - nowhere.
You should select a specific service based on your own needs, knowledge, and the final result you are counting on. Important: when ordering graphic content from professionals, such tricks will not be needed.
Delegate processing
Despite the possibility of performing all the operations yourself, the work of a specialist is an easy way to resolve the issue. Many people are engaged in custom photography, providing services in all corners of the country, in all genres and areas. Freelance photographers are an economical option that will allow you to avoid wasting your budget and get good results. Such a person works on a “free” basis, without being tied to a specific photo studio. The price for his services is 2-4 times lower than in studios.
Depending on the urgency of the order, you can either distribute all the tasks to 2-3 freelancers, or delegate the task to 1 person. To search, use specialized sites and exchanges. Among them:
What else is important to know about photography for an online store?
When developing graphic material, take into account the specifics of the offered assortment. Are you engaged in selling goods that the average person cannot see every day in everyday life? Provide the potential buyer with as much information as possible about him.
For example, if the dimensions of the product are unclear in the photo, then put a ruler next to it and take a photo that way. Does the online store specialize in personal hygiene products, food, household chemicals, medicines, and other chemicals? Scan the product's composition, calorie content, instructions for use, warnings, contraindications. They are of interest to 80% of buyers in the process of viewing and choosing a product.
When selling household, large, or other appliances, it is important to provide photographs of all the wire connectors and other small functional parts available on the device. Let's say you sell mobile phones. Take a separate photo of the camera, speaker, memory card slot, etc., depending on the specific model. You can get an even more enthusiastic reaction from the buyer if you add pictures of all the components: charger, USB cable and headphones.
Angle as a way of advantageous presentation
An important aspect in creating good sales photographs is the angle. The more extensive your “photo collection”, the more detailed the buyer will be able to examine the products offered. Depending on the specifics of things, there are different options for angles. You can use the classic angle - shooting at the subject level. Together with its simplicity, it is easily and naturally perceived by the human eye. So, if you don’t want to take risks and experiment, this option is ideal.
Other simple angles:
- Shooting from below is one of the most popular (where the camera is positioned slightly lower than what you are photographing). The method will help to visually give the object significance.
- Shooting from above will provide an opportunity to reduce the perspective to nothing and help the online store visitor evaluate the product without any optical flaws.
- The diagonal angle is especially beneficial when shooting large objects, but you need to be extremely careful with it.
For a better perception and evaluation of the product by the buyer, it is recommended to combine many angles. Ideally, photographs of one item should go in the following sequence: front view, side view, back view, then it will be possible to present the proposed product in all planes.
Is the product available in several variations, different colors, with different decorative elements? Take photographs of the entire model range. Remember, the more detailed graphic objects are placed, the higher the likelihood of a purchase in your online store.
Are watermarks an element of copyright or an extra detail?
A watermark (translated from “watermark” in English) is a part of a graphic image that looks more transparent than the main object of the frame. Using a watermark, information is placed on a photo that should be difficult to get rid of. This could be the name of the company, contact information so that communication with the seller is more accessible, or simply the declared authorship of the photo, the product itself.
In pursuit of originality of the photo, remember the main thing: the comfort of potential/real buyers is above all. Watermarks should not interfere with viewing the product, therefore it is more correct to place them either next to the item, or slightly beyond its boundaries, because you are selling the item located in the picture, and not the picture itself.
Now you know how to take attractive photos for your online store. Use this knowledge and attract visitors to your resource!
Setting up a simple home photography studio can be very rewarding for any photographer. Whether you're a professional portrait photographer or a designer who needs to capture product photography, a home studio will give you the opportunity to work, and most importantly, learn and experiment. Let's look at a few basic points needed to create a home photography studio.
Room.
First of all, you will need free space - the more the better. If it is possible to free one of the rooms, or at least part of it, as much as possible from furniture and other things, do it.
Ideally, it would be great to completely empty the room before filling it with photography equipment. In real life this is unlikely, there are a lot of things in the house besides a photo studio, so you will have to put up with cramped spaces.
In the room, you will need tight control of the light conditions at all times of the day and night. Natural lighting can certainly be useful, but consider closing the windows tightly, completely blocking any natural light that could spoil the light picture.
Another point that should not be forgotten is temperature. Especially if you plan to work constantly and store equipment in the studio. For example, in summer a room can heat up on its own from the sun and operating lighting equipment to very high temperatures, which is not very good for photographic equipment. In addition, models sweating from the heat or shivering from the cold are not the best subjects for shooting. Therefore, think about maintaining an optimal climate and temperature in the room.
And the last thing you should think about is sound insulation. If you are only going to take photos, then this will not worry you much, but if you are planning to also video, then you should think about how much extraneous sounds, for example noise from a busy road outside the window, may disturb you. In this case, it is well worth considering investing in some sound insulation.
Backdrop (background).
Every good studio has several backdrops against which photographs are taken. You'd be wise to ditch the expensive "professional" backdrops you may have seen in hardware stores in favor of something simpler. You need something with a dense, uniform color and unnoticeable texture.
Backdrops are usually made from a variety of materials, including cotton, canvas, vinyl, and plain paper. The easiest and cheapest choice for backdrops is plain paper, especially if you can find it in large rolls.
But if you want to get a more professional studio and achieve better results, it’s still worth spending money and choosing inexpensive material for the backdrop in a photo store or having it sewn to order.
However, for starters, for the first experiments, a simple white sheet or a roll of wrapping paper will do just fine, with which you can build something similar to the photo below.
Light
Lighting is the most difficult and expensive part of the studio. Choosing studio light is not an easy task and is the subject of a separate discussion.
In short, there are two types of light. Constant and impulsive. Constant is cheaper, but generates a lot of heat in the studio and is not as versatile as pulsed. With pulsed light you get much more power, very good light quality and much more options. But it also costs noticeably more.
To get started, you can purchase a simple, inexpensive studio light kit. But for a good result, be prepared to fork out a decent amount in the future. And no matter how much you would like to save money, it is better to immediately buy an inexpensive set of pulsed light with two or three flashes rather than a permanent one. For a small home studio, this will be enough to get excellent results in various situations, and over time you can expand the kit.
Umbrellas and softboxes.
When looking at different lighting kits, you may find yourself going back and forth between whether an umbrella or a softbox is best for your studio. Unfortunately, there is no exact answer, since both have their pros and cons. At the same time, both perform their task - softening the light.
Umbrellas are usually cheaper and more versatile. They often come with a reflective surface that allows you to control the light output - you can make the most of the light by bouncing it, or reduce it by removing the reflector and directing the light directly through the umbrella material. Umbrellas spread light over a fairly large area and they work well in large spaces or when photographing a group of people. In addition, umbrellas are more mobile than soft boxes; they are faster to assemble and install.
Most professional photographers work with both umbrellas and softboxes at the same time to achieve better results. But if you're on a budget, an umbrella is a great place to start.
Entourage and costumes.
What is often not thought about is the multitude of crazy and at first glance completely unnecessary accessories and other junk. Taking a portrait is an incredibly boring process for most people, so using dress-up costumes and anything that can make the shoot fun and enjoyable and get the models excited can be very helpful.
So it will be useful to keep in the studio all sorts of nonsense such as stupid sunglasses, wigs, toy jewelry and other nonsense that will “stir up” the most complex clients - from clerks to children, causing a smile, a good mood and a relaxed state.
The main thing is to make the person relax. A photo of a person with a tense face “like a passport” will always lose to a photo taken in a relaxed atmosphere.
Photo supplies.
Don’t forget about the specific and often necessary equipment for the studio. This could be a refrigerator and a plasma TV or laptop, but first of all, think about the essentials. For example, you will definitely need a tripod or even two. You may need remote controls or cables to control the camera remotely.
If you use flashes, consider wireless controllers for them. Don't forget that a small stepladder can be very useful for choosing a specific angle or hanging a backdrop. And also a mirror, for those who at the last moment before shooting decide to check what he looks like.
And further. Be smart about your spending and try to understand your goals. Otherwise, creating a home studio can milk a lot of money out of you, some of which you will spend on expensive, but unnecessary or rarely used things. Therefore, always think carefully about what will be useful for you and what will not. Perhaps inexpensive constant light will suit your specific purposes, so you don’t necessarily need to invest in pulsed light, etc.
Well, that's the main thing. Don't be afraid to learn and experiment - shoot more, try new approaches and you yourself will understand what you need most. Remember, a home studio is only the first step to “get your teeth into” and understand the basic principles of working in a studio. And then you will either begin to improve your own studio or find a suitable professional one.
Subject photography at home is possible not only in fantasy, but also in reality. Many photographers, especially beginners, think that subject photography can only be done in a specially equipped studio. But they are completely wrong. Even at home, it is quite possible to create a small but effective photo studio to take high-quality photographs.
Necessary equipment
A table for product photography is the simplest option. You can use it to photograph small objects or shoot still lifes. This table is very easy to build by hand. Even an inexperienced photographer can cope with this easy task. First, you need to purchase a fairly large sheet of white cardboard. Secondly, you need to find. To do this, you can take any thick book, vessel or any other large thing, since the support will not be visible in the frame. It is better to place a table for product photography on a wide windowsill. Particular attention should be paid to the incident light from the sun. After all, if the subject being photographed is located in a bright strip of sunlight, it will cast rough and deep shadows on the table, which will not lead to the desired result in the picture. That is why a window that faces the shady side is the best place to organize a specimen table.
How to make a photobox?
There are special professional photo boxes for subject photography. Their price is quite high, so there is no point in purchasing such structures for one-time work. A high-quality photo box can be made at home. To do this you will need a cardboard box and a sheet of Whatman paper. It is desirable that the selected cardboard box has a cubic shape. Next, the bottom of the box is removed, leaving the back intact. It is necessary to make large square cutouts on the top of the box and on its sides and seal them with whatman paper. The inside back of the box and the bottom itself should also be covered with a sheet of white paper. Based on the above steps, making a photo box at home will not be difficult at all.
Ordinary background
Product photography at home does not require the photographer to work with a photobox or table. It is quite possible to do without these things. Many amateur photographers choose the simplest method of shooting. Before starting work, it is necessary to determine which section of the wall of the home is the lightest. If the wall is not a single color, it needs to be covered with a background (for example, a sheet of whatman paper or a piece of fabric). The subject to be photographed must be placed on a stool, which is covered with the same material from which the background is made. It is better to photograph various jewelry on polished granite, then the beauty of the jewelry will be clearly visible in the photo thanks to the reflective surface of this aristocratic stone.
How to properly organize lighting?
A great activity for a novice photographer is product photography at home. Light, correctly selected for the upcoming work, can radically affect the result of filming. Lighting directly depends on the selected equipment for work. If subjects will be photographed on the windowsill, then the main sun will be. If additional lighting is needed, a reflector can be used. You can make it yourself using cardboard and foil. If such items are not at hand, then even an ordinary white sheet of paper can serve as additional illumination. In addition, absolutely any light-colored surface can act as a reflector.
Lighting in a photobox
Product photography at home, which uses a photobox, requires a minimum of three light sources. Thus, the object will be illuminated through the walls of the photobox from all the necessary sides, that is, from above and on the sides. The result is a great looking photo with no harsh or unsightly shadows. If you pay more attention and time to setting up the right lighting, shadows in the photograph can be completely avoided. Additional light sources can be table lamps or any lamps that can be found in almost any home.
What photographic equipment should be used?
In product photography, clarity and sharpness of the subject is of paramount importance. To get beautiful and contrasting photos, you need to use a tripod. This is a simple accessory that will help avoid camera vibration when shooting at long exposures. If there is no way to purchase a tripod, then you can use some kind of fixed support instead. In addition, without a camera remote control, the shooting process can become quite difficult. In extreme cases, the remote control can be replaced with a cable to perform a contactless shutter release.
Correct composition
Product photography often involves painstaking work with composition. After all, it is not always necessary to place only one object in the frame. To correctly arrange several objects, you need to create a multi-level space. For this, various stands are used, which can be either visible or hidden under some background material. If you need to highlight one object among many others, then you need to emphasize it with the help of light or the location of the object in the foreground.
Product photography at home on a white background is the best solution for a beginning photographer. After all, white color will help create a clear and contrasting image. For uniform illumination, the background is usually illuminated from the front and back sides. To create a clear reflection effect, glass mirrors should not be used. They make the reflection double. For this purpose it is necessary to use polished material. If you need to secure a small product while working, you can use a miniature hot glue gun. First, glue is applied to the object itself, and only then the object is attached to the background.
Beginning of work
In order for subject photography at home to please you with an excellent result, you need to pay attention not only to the working equipment, but also to the object being photographed itself. The subject should be beautifully located on an improvised mini-site for filming. At this stage, you need to make all the necessary settings in the camera. Manual mode is the best choice for product photography. In photographs taken in automatic mode, exposure flaws are often visible. If the subject chosen for work is colorful and bright, and the background is dark or even black, then manual mode will be an excellent choice for shooting. A rather painstaking process is subject photography at home. White balance and sensor sensitivity settings are also extremely important. The ISO value should not exceed two hundred units. To reduce the noise level in a photograph, you need to lower the ISO number. This action is of great importance in the work of a photographer. After all, as a result, the object in the image should look natural and harmonious.
First shot
To get a high-quality photo, you need to turn off the flash on the camera. For good results, enough light from a window or table lamps. After the first test shot, you need to pause the photographing process. The resulting image must be carefully examined and analyzed. If there are visible problems in the photo such as exposure errors, unclear sharpness, incorrect lighting, then you need to correct all the errors by changing the camera settings or the light. If the repeated subject photography turned out well, then you can safely continue working.
A few secrets
Quite often, photographers are faced with the problem of lifelessness in their photographs, although at first glance everything looks perfect. If the photo needs to be creative, then you can make the image more dynamic. For example, you can add small sprays from a spray bottle that will create volume. An interesting addition could be confetti, feathers or even It is important that the auxiliaries do not fall on the camera lens. These secrets of product photography will help you achieve the necessary “air” in the final image. If the photo should be full of colors, you can try placing a New Year's garland near the subject. Thus, by choosing the flickering mode, it is possible to achieve interesting color accents. It is necessary to take a series of frames, and then select the most harmonious ones from them. As you work, you must constantly brush off dust from the objects you are photographing so that they look perfect in the photo. Product photography at home without expensive studio equipment is real. You just need to use the above tips and a good result will not keep you waiting.
