Throughout the pandemic, new businesses and DIY projects dominated the local market. As a result, product photography saw a slight rise in demand. Business owners who are not willing to shell out money for product photography but have a creative side and are able to understand basic photography principles can hold their very own shoot at home for less.

The setup should be somewhere near a window for an access to natural light. One should have a camera, tripod, white and black background, roll of tape, a couple of white bounce cards, and a few clamps ready for the shoot. Edible items can be shot effectively using natural light while non-food products are best shot using studio lighting.

The use of black and white background depends on the contrast of the background against the color of the products. Be sure to use the background that allows the color of the product to pop. It’s important to use a tripod in product photography as it requires different types of shots without any amount of camera shake. When shooting, it’s best to have a vision of the whole edit to prevent reshoots. Some photographers find their shots unpleasant for the complete edit that they’d have to do it all over again.

Get inspired by photos of creative brands. Instead of mimicking their work, draw inspiration and motivation from them to pull off an excellent shoot even on a budget. A little always goes a long way especially when effort, time, skill, and creativity are involved.
