Product Photography: How to Shoot and Retouch Photos Like a Pro

When it comes to product photography, having a better photo can be the difference between selling and not selling a product.

On the bright side, product photography follows more or less the same workflow.

So, what really makes or breaks a product photo?

Simple answer? Lighting!

In this class, we'll walk through a product photoshoot together.

We’ll cover:

The concept of the shoot
The shoot itself
The editing process
This will help us see what it takes to come up with a final image that is marketable as we keep our focus on lighting.

Light can be used to evoke emotion in a photo; whether that is dark and moody, bright and highkey, or even something more fun and interesting. All of these elements can help consumers make purchase decisions.

I’ll be taking you behind the scenes of the shoot, showing you the different things that I consider when lighting, propping, or even the tiny little hacks that I use to bring it all together.

This class is for intermediate or higher level photographers who already have a general understanding of camera controls as well as off-camera lighting. You’ll also need to have a working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop.

This class is also perfectly tailored to in-house professionals as I’ll be touching up on how I set up my workflow in order to be able to create a certain level of consistency through my process helping you save time as you work through multiple projects, as well as ease communication when working with a team.

By the end of this class, you’ll have:

A complete understanding of ways you can use lighting to create dynamic and compelling photos
An efficient workflow that can be applied to any form of product photography, and beyond!
I'm excited to see you in class. Let's jump right in!
