In the realm of product photography, thriving photographers excel for a simple reason: their busy schedules allow them to produce exceptional images consistently. Unlike many photographers who struggle to afford quality equipment and gain valuable experience due to a lack of work, those in high demand are making more money, investing in superior gear, and honing their skills to advance professionally.
Newcomers entering the photography industry often face significant challenges when launching and sustaining their businesses. The need for a sustainable income, quality equipment, effective marketing, and other overhead expenses can deter many aspiring photographers from pursuing their dreams. According to Industry Canada, the average Canadian photographer earns around $45,000 annually, highlighting the persistent issue of low-income potential in the field. Consequently, this financial hurdle discourages many talented individuals from staying in the profession, resulting in a shortage of experienced and skilled photographers within the industry.
Becoming a photographer can begin with a simple camera purchase and self-appointment, but the complexity of projects inevitably emerges. Clients may require advanced staging, editing, or lighting, all of which demand the right tools and expertise. While seasoned photographers possess the necessary skills and equipment, newcomers must learn and adapt as they progress.
At Jules Design, we demonstrate our commitment to product photography excellence through the use of various photography techniques, staging methods, and lighting solutions. For instance, in our bottle product photography projects, we employ back-lighting to create a clean, bright white appearance, effectively illuminating the product’s contents. Many photographers struggle with capturing bottle images without unwanted reflections, often resorting to inexpensive white soft boxes purchased online to shoot merchandise. However, these softboxes frequently introduce unwanted colour reflections onto the product, resulting in unprofessional product photos.
As shown here, white soft boxes reflect white on the product and wash the colour out on the merchandise.
When choosing your next product photographer, we encourage you to visit their studio, review their portfolio, and assess their workspace. Engage with them personally to understand their work style and infrastructure. Since your commercial photography vendor essentially becomes an extension of your marketing team, it’s crucial to collaborate with someone you trust and who possesses the necessary tools to meet your needs.
