So, say I have 1000 products and I want to photograph them all the same... same angle, same background, same lighting... and shoot each at multiple angles... front, back, left side, right side, top, bottom...
... what is the best way to do this? I'm assuming it would need to be some type of setup... just not sure how to capture the different angles... keep lighting consistent, etc.
Plus... I'm an amateur at best when it comes to photography... so I'd probably want to go the simple route...
Any thoughts? All help would be great.

possibly a turn style with increment markings if you want to retain camera and lighting positions (big turn style to keep markings out of frame)

i made a light tent out of coat hangers and fabric from the fabric shop and got some halogen work lights at home depot for 20 bucks.
- do some research you can buy one for 20 bucks unless you have time for arts & kraftsimnotadesigner

thanks for the responses.
I've tried out a custom solution... box with sides and top cut out, covered with white fabric... lowes work lights...
it does a decent job. my only problem is trying to keep the multiple shots consistent.
Also, what type of camera should I look into?
- get an SLR that you can plug into your monitor. Acetate on top and map out your image to keep consistent

Honestly, I would go to an art/photography school and pay a student who aspires to do this for a living. I had an entire portfolio shot for me for way less than the price of buying a camera and trying my amateur hand at it. These kids have great hardware and equipment at their fingertips, plus they need money and experience.

Manual exposure + Manual white balance = consistent results
