PRO TIPS...

1. Lighting: Place your product near a window to get soft, natural light. Try using artificial lights of different colors to change the mood of your photos.
2. Angles: Start shooting at eye level, then experiment with side angles and flat shots.
3. Stability: Use both hands to stabilize your camera or place it on a firm surface like a stack of books.
4. Backgrounds: Use furniture for flat images, and try t-shirts or sheets for seamless backgrounds. You can also explore different wall textures in your home.
5. Lifestyle photos: Include family members in your photos to create lifestyle images, combining portraits and product photography.

Option 3: Contracted Photographer

You are a professional product photographer. You have been hired to photograph your favorite product that you use at home. For example, soft drinks, watches, hair spray, makeup, etc. Create a successful series of photos for advertisements that promote the product.
