GRA 2 week 11

LT 1.1

Draw up a list of the most important aspects of a product photograph. Refer to shadows, lighting, quality, ISO and editing in your answer. Mention at least five things. You are welcome to include visual examples of discussion points.


The most important parts to consider while taking Product photography is:

The use of lighting, a product photography shouldn’t have hard shadows or light but rather a soft light promoting the product clearly. The distance and size of the product is important as well as the use of correct lighting and reflectors. Use good placemnet, take photo from multiple angels, make sure you can edit the phtos later on.


LT 1.2

  • Make your own DIY light tent.
  • Take product photographs of the following objects:
    • Something fluffy, like a stuffed animal.
    • Something shiny, like a knife and fork.
    • Something hard, like a book or a mug.
    • A liquid, like a glass of wine.
  • Draw a diagram of your lighting scenario for each of the above photographs and submit it along with the pictures.
  • Edit your photographs with the software of your choice. Write an accompanying paragraph for each of your pictures and explain what you did during the editing process.

For the plant i simply played around with the curves setting and cropped the photo.

The knife i use hue saturation and contrast to better the photo, i did the same for the liquid photo.

For the plush i change the lighting setting and color corrections.
