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!
