My 'kit' for this work is comprised of a couple of light stands, a few flash units, remotes (cable, RF and/or optical) for the flash units, a remote release for the camera, a bunch of pieces of mat board, a light tent, 48" seamless backdrop paper, and a selection of lenses from 35mm Macro to 135mm. Along with the inevitable collection of clamps, gaffer's tape, some color gels for the flash units, etc. For one of my cameras, I have the software and cabling set up to do the job tethered as well.i am helping a friend take by taking pictures of their products for a catalog and for a website.
can anyone recommend a 'kit' to buy for this task?
I was going to ask the same question. If the stuff is not too big, this works pretty well without breaking the bank:How "big" are the products, or more accurately, how big is the biggest item you need to photograph?
Hot lights are okay for some product photography like environmental food shots with limited depth-of-field ... but for small products in studio you usually use a basic 100mm macro lens or a standard lens with close-up tubes.thanks guys. i am looking for somethign like this
