Learn to master lighting and composition in order to create amazing product shots! Whether you re photographing a bottle of wine or a painting, a pair of shoes or a piece of jewellery, successful product photography first requires a thorough knowledge of light. You need to fully understand how light works angles, reflectance, quantity, quality, shadows, and more as well as how it interacts with the materials, shapes, surfaces, and textures you re photographing. Once you know where to place the light and how to shape it, along with key compositional and photographic techniques, you can create beautiful photographs of any product or object you encounter. Of all the photographic genres, product photography requires the most precision, a consistent workflow, and a deep knowledge of optics. While this may seem daunting, anyone can learn to take great product photographs with photographer Nath-Sakura s Product Photography: Lighting, Composition, and Shooting Techniques. Filled with inspiring and beautiful imagery, this book features a wide variety of products with diverse characteristics that will help you learn to tackle any challenge.
