Product Photography

Products

Product photography generally falls into two categories. The item
can be shown in a clear and straightforward way, often on a plain
background, or alternatively it can be taken in a more natural
setting. The latter is often called lifestyle photography.

Getting a clear and uncluttered view of an item is usually best
achieved in a studio type environment. I use the term "studio
type" as this is often arranged in a temporary studio at the
client's premises, set up using my portable equipment. Many of
the images in the gallery were shot in this way.

Selecting the right location is the key to successful lifestyle
photography. The items then need to be positioned realistically
and photographed in a way that will bring out their best features
while creating an image that is attractive overall.
