  I think about the eventual layout.... i.e. web page with white background? black background? grey background? printed book? square or horizontal or vertical?

  I use this to determine if I'm shooting on white or black, if diffused shadows are allowed, if no shadows, if sharp shadows, etc....

  I shoot a few tests, do my layout, see how it all fits together, then reshoot....

  I use a lot of bounce flash for informal shoots + color checker card from xRite.
  

  

  

  If more formal, with time, and/or for 3D objects... especially shiny ones..., I have a studio setup with lots of softboxes and diffusion panels. If I'm shooting glass bottles, I use large diffusion panels very close to them, with softboxes behind them so the highlight is smoother edged.....
