Behind-the-Scenes of a Product Photographer
Test shooting is something photographers invest time to do as often as possible. This is a way to practice a new technique, photo angle, styling, a lighting style, and much more - and usually it’s for a personal project or to test things before a client photoshoot. As a product photographer, I try my best to test shoot at least once a month (the more the better of course). Truly, it’s a great a way to put your art into play and most importantly, hone in on your craft. Here is a close behind-the-scenes look at how I prepare for a product test photo shoot, using props & items accessible in my home studio.
It was incredibly fun to let my ideas run freely during this product test shoot. I managed to incorporate 7 items into a shot without overwhelming the frame. This will help me during the process of photography for a client project that may require capturing their entire product line.
As I was moving along, I published this TikTok video - see the movement that goes on and enjoy the final image results below! For the next “behind-the-scenes” blog, I will include more details & photos of the equipment I use. Thanks for reading!
