The goal of commercial product photography is simple — to make the product so look so good that consumers would want to buy it. This intensive, hands-on workshop will propel you toward that goal by guiding you through the basic techniques and secrets that industry pros use.

What will be covered

• Getting the necessary equipment
• Finding inexpensive substitutes
• Employing lens filters
• Choosing the right background
• Making the product stand out
• Positioning the product
• Levitating the product
• Varying shooting angles
• Highlighting select features
• Bringing out texture
• Controlling light
• Light metering
• Filtering light
• Who should attend

This two-day workshop is both for amateur photographers who want to break into the field of commercial product photography, and for professional photographers who want to broaden their skill set.
