Never been a photographer but here are some test shots of detail, color and wb. Had to do it in two days for a 10 set. Although having no eBay or PayPal at where I'm, still bothers me.
How does one get a gig for product photography, should I continue working at it, get more into lighting and creative splash shots etc, and start asking around shops if there are interested?
- I'd work on your shadows before trying to get a product shot gig - also, from the friends I have who do it, you need to be VERY quick more than very good.Nairn
- ^ aha. Great advice, and yep, I thought about masking all and creating new vector shadows. They tend to look nicer and softer.helloeatbreathedrive
- @Naim, do you think it's an hourly thing or based on how many sets you complete in a certain amount of time and deliver as instructed?helloeatbreathedrive
- Not sure - I suspect it's more of a "we need x items shooting to fill the catalogue in y days - can you do it for £z?"Nairn
- This is a part of the photopgraphy game that unfortunately is price driven. Because it's usually volume based any brand (FMCG/Fashion) is likely to require...Morning_star
- ...50-100 finished shots per day and wil be charged in a per product basis. We do a lot of sports wear/ home ware photography and we have an automated camera...Morning_star
- ...and lighting system. It's set up once by the photography/art director and then the products are shot by someone that can press a button.Morning_star
