The Photo Studio Indoors Product Photography
You don’t need to budget to sell a used product lying on the shelf until yesterday. Just get yourself a white poster board from the nearest shop; it serves well as a softbox. Make sure it is flexible enough to bend on the floor when you lay it on the wall, with the lower half resting on the floor. Make sure the room is nicely lit; consider using a small lamp if it isn’t. It would be best to place it at a forty-five-degree angle to your product lying on the floor on the white poster board.
The Photo Studio
The Frame
White is the way to be. Focus on the object you are going to sell not the scenic beauty in the backdrop, it does not matter. Clear off the frame; there is no wall, no plants, and nothing at all. The product and the white poster board background should be included. Use the zoom-in feature to get in close or crop the photo once taken. All you aim at is eliminating any distractions and unwanted objects in the shot.
The Frame
Don’t use flash; it leaves spots of light. Use natural light, a lamp, or the usual light in the room. Use a tripod to avoid shaking off and slow shutter blurs.
Light
Is light a crucial factor that is usually overlooked by many of us? Take care of it. Use the white balance option on the camera settings. It is very helpful in indoor photography. Select the model according to the light in your room—fluorescent or incandescent. Be careful with the selection. A wrong selection could give a strange tinge to your products in the final output; the color tint may change altogether. You don’t want to showcase a different-looking object that you can sell to your customer. That’s negative.
