This video is about the Best Product Photography Gear and Workflow (2018) that I can possibly recommend.
In this video, I will be talking about the product photography gear I use every day. After doing this professionally for over 10 years, this is the best photo gear I recommend for anyone looking to produce awesome product shots. Here, I will recommend equipment at a good price that produces favorable output. In addition, I will be discussing my photography processes, tips and hacks to get the most out of your equipment.
As color is important, my commercial photography workflow is a color-managed workflow. This means that I measure color for consistency and accuracy. In this video, I will demonstrate how I use grey cards, light meters and other techniques to produce correct hues in my product photos.
Finally, sourcing the best gear is not easy. As there are many competing photo tools on the market, here, I will recommend the items that yield the best results at the best price. My intent is to point to items that will yield the best value without being deficient or overkill. In the text below, I will provide links to the merchandise that I recommend.
I will outline what I find to be the best value in commercial photography equipment. This equipment includes: cameras, stands, photography tethering software, strobes, diffusers, monitors, photo tethering tools, photography tables, editing software and other techniques.
You really need to watch this; as a product photographer with over 10 years of industry experience, use my knowledge to reduce your mistakes, to save money and to yield better product shots. Stop overspending on your product photography gear!
