TABLETOP PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

DIGITAL PHOTO BOOT CAMP

This boot camp is for photographers who want to learn the basics of studio still life photography and product photography. Tabletop product photography is one of the most practical and ubiquitous forms of photographic illustration we encounter. Making images of static and small objects requires lighting and design skills to present objects well and to provide information to the viewer.

This workshop is designed to introduce beginner photographers to the lighting and tools for tabletop product photography.  This class would be recommended for artists, crafters and other folks who want to market products on the internet.  Making your work look good is important in the marketing of your products and this work shop will emphasize this skill set.

Table top studios can be set up with a modest investment in equipment and with readily available items.  Point and shoot cameras have great close up capability and can be as useful as a digital SLR for this type of photography. We will review and use several lighting set –ups and ways you can create your own close-up studio. You will be practicing making images and are welcome to bring small objects to practice with.

What you need for this workshop

Please bring your digital camera and owner’s manual to this session.  Make sure you have charged batteries and memory cards for the practice shooting exercises.  You will be using your camera during the session.  If you have a macro lens or close –up adapters for your camera bring them if available.
