Hi, can anyone recommend equipment I would need for product photography. The equipment needs to be portable, easy to store, and inexpensive. Also any tips for taking product shots would be great too.
For small items for product shoots a light box / cocoon is the way forward - cheap and as above says use a light source either side and you are good to go.
There are loads of help online for product photography - mine are;
- use a tripod
- use off camera lights and multiple light sources to avoid / reduce unwanted shadows
- use a high Aperture setting / priority to get as much as you can in sharp focus
- set aside a lot of time to practice and to post-process
- note down camera / light settings etc if doing a series to maintain uniformity across images
