    Product photography is a huge industry. Having amazing product photos is really important when you’re trying to sell online. However, it’s not as hard as it seems. In this video I am going to teach you how to take super simple and professional product photos.
    With this method you will be able to use items you have at home and if there are some things you don’t have, it will cost you less than $10 for all the materials. I got all the items at Walgreens but if you’d prefer to order them online, here is the links below:
    12x9 White Foam Core: amzn.to/3Ftx8sA
    Packing Tape: amzn.to/3epndbr
    White Baking Paper: amzn.to/312wJOU
    I couldn’t find the large flexible white paper on Amazon, so I advise just going to Walgreens, Walmart, etc. It’ll be cheaper.

  • @adamkwiatek318
    @adamkwiatek318 Před rokem +35

    Awesome video. I've done something similar, but wasn't aware that about using white surfaces on the sides and the "cloud". I will definitely add it to the setup.
    Here's a tip from me. You can buy a picture frame with glass for pretty cheap and put the glass flat on the surface underneath the item. It creates a cool reflection!
    Also, I put everything except the light source inside a large cardboard box (with 2 walls removed) which allows for the setup to be mobile.

  • @sanityseeker
    @sanityseeker Před rokem +14

    Personally, I like the natural light with nothing else the best for product photos. It clearly shows the correct color and allows the details of imperfection to come through. I think the examples you provided show that. I have the lowest return rate when I just take photos outside, instead of indoors with lamps and a box.

    • @willsimpsonphoto
      @willsimpsonphoto  Před rokem +7

      I love the lifestyle (outdoors) photos as well more than the “studio” work. But both are needed in my opinion to make good sales.

  • @simplefaithanddaisies
    @simplefaithanddaisies Před rokem +7

    Thank you so much. I literally realized I had my cubby (cube organizer shelf) unit that i could use the little cube as a light box. I already had a can light and diffused it and put a white board behind the cube section of shelf. THANK YOU!
