Flower product photograph

Photographs for Web sites and brochures

Photography offers a lot of flexibility to craft affordable product photographs for a range of media. Images can be shot for ready use on backgrounds to match with your creative.

Some of the common media formats include

• The Internet
• Printed magazine
• Poster
• Point of sale
• Flyer
• Brochure
• Editorial

I can offer a range of package deals, providing you with a high quality selection of images for your concept. I am happy to assist with artistic direction to develop your idea or to follow a brief to achieve your goal.
Cornwall, where I generally photograph, also offers a huge selection of outdoor locations to consider in your concept. I am a great believer in natural light. It offers a genuine quality that is hard to simulate in a studio, with gentle tones and texture enhanced in the light.

Product photography in Cornwall

Product photography

Here is another example of some product photography, I thought I would share with you. My last product photoghraph was of a model car (follow the link for a nose).

The image was made to sell my partners bracelet (Its not work requested by Tiffany & Co!). I took a few images for an eBay listing. I wanted a nice bright image, showing the white metal off to its best. I used a lighting tent and a sun flower for the photograph – as you can see!!

Lighting was achived with an off camera strobe, camera left, flashing through the side of the lighting tent, to soften the effect of the light on the subject. A few test shots were made, to balance the light, then the final few shots made.

If you have anything you would like photographed for brochures, web sites or adverts, please give me a call or send an email and we can chat about your requirements…

Toy car in flash light

Product photography

I am just playing with some new kit. A SB600 nikon flash unit. I have a few of these that I use for interior photography of shops and houses (Photos coming soon)

The beauty with these strobes, is they can be used off camera and controled from the main camera unit. This allows for a great deal of creativity with your photography. Basically, I have a mini studio lighting system that I can take everywhere with me!

This set up is an ideal affordable solution for product photography, like this car. If you have a product you would like captured for a business card, catalogue or brochure, please contact me or give me a ring!!!

Still life natural light photography

An area of photography I am working on getting more involved in is Product photography. Shooting still life objects for print, online and other advertisement mediums. As well as stock photography.

It’s an intersting line of work. There are so many products out there to photograph, some more challenging than others.

Smaller products are generally easier. They can be moved quickly, accurately positioned and easier to light. However, it’s far more challenging to shoot a large object, light it well and produce a dynamic image…. You would be surprised to be honest if you choose the correct natural light conditions, a small amount of strobe light, in the right place can give you some of the most outstanding effects, for example lighting a house!
