  2. Tripod and mounts: a sturdy tripod is essential for keeping the camera stable

  • Selecting backgrounds : use a background that complements the product, ensure the background provides enough contrast, consider using different textures and materials
  • Setting up light source : natural light, artificial light, experiment with different lighting setup
  • Arranging the product : place it on the centre, use odd numbers and vary the heights, pay attention to small details (such as : alignment, spacing, cleanliness)
Photo Shooting Techniques

TASK
Product Photo
This week, we focus on the product photoshoot for the sketches that Mr Fauzi chose. Mr Fauzi chose sketch 3 for this project which is the hairbrush and hairdryer combined.

So first, I started by doing the product photoshoot in my room using my phone. I used my wall as the background and used my desk light to help with the lighting for the hairbrush. For the hairdryer, I took the picture on the floor because the I didn't really know how to make the hairdryer stand. Here are the results for the photo.

REFLECTION
From this task, I learned that understanding the techniques for product photoshoot plays a huge role on making the final results look interesting. The lighting, background, colours, everything has its own role in product photoshoot. I liked the way the brush photo turned out but I'm not that satisfied with the hairdryer because is was difficult to adjust the lighting since I took the picture on the floor.
