Intro to Product Photography

Today Julian took us through a number of different lighting options for product photography. From simple overhead softboxes with reflectors, to refracted light shining through glass to give it shape.

We then got t to take a few shots of an item we had brought in using one of the setups. Our group grabbed the setup with a large overhead softbox and a flash head with a reflector illuminating the background. My item was my point and shoot lumix waterproof camera.  We tried a basic shot then tried using gel to change the background. We also added some water droplets to illustrate the waterproof feature. The alignment of the product and horizon line could have been better in all shots but for a 1st attempt Im happy.
