Why Do It

When offering product photography as a service, you’re exposed to a mixed bag of requests and image styles you’ll need to create.

“Can you make this feel like summer?”.

“We want this to look nice and shiny”.

“This needs to look better than our competition”.

This course is about taking control of the photos you create. You need a skillset to draw from to pull off your client’s ideas, as well as your own. 

It’s heavily a lighting course and we get technical. We show you lighting setups you’ll use time and time again. And also tinker with more creative setups to help with curve ball briefs.

How You Learn

We teach you with one foot in the classroom and one foot in the real world. We’ll be shooting real briefs, with real products and paying clients who may be in attendance.

Product photography using studio lights and ambient light. Lighting setups include flat lay, tabletop and on model.

Studio-based on white shots, and creatively styled scenes.

Explore what outdoor locations can offer our product shots, in environments and on model.
