Product Photography: bring out the best in a product
Recently I bought a new watch. As a photographer, I did what any crazy normal photographer would do – I took lots of photos of it.
Needless to say, after taking a bunch of product shots of my watch I was all excited and needed something else to photograph… but what next?
The only thing that came to hand was a pack of mints. But these weren’t just any mints; they were a girly and very pink tin of peppermint mints – complete with a slide away compact mirror. Don’t leave home without one.
I swear they weren’t my mints. Honest.
I bought this watch when I was in Canada. It is made by the well known Canadian brand Roots.
How to bring out the best in a product
I enjoy the challenge of product photography. It’s not as simple as it might seem. Getting an exposed and in focus image is one thing; however, bringing out the best in a product is something else all together.
