FOR THIS STAGE, I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE BASICS OF PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY, BRINGING FOCUS TO A PRODUCT. I LOOK INTO OTHER SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE THEIR IMAGES COMMERCIALLY PUBLISHED. I WANTED TO BEGIN WITH THE BASICS, PHOTOGRAPHING A PRODUCT IN CLEAN QUALITY WITH NOTHING ADDITIONALLY EDITED IN, JUST WORKING WITH WHAT I HAVE.
SHOOT ONE CONTACT SHEET AND ANNOTATIONS:
1/5
TO START OFF, I DECIDED TO FOCUS ON ONE ITEM IN FRONT OF A BLANK WHITE BACKGROUND TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE PRODUCT WITH NO DISTRACTIONS AND ALLOW THE MACRO LENSE TO FOCUS PRIMARILY ON THE PRODUCT GIVING A SHARP IMAGE. TO DO THIS, I BRIGHTENED THE BACKGROUND AND MADE THE PRODUCT SHARPER USING UEROUS TOOLS ON PHOTOSHOP TO MAKE THE IMAGES LOOK CRISP AND CLEAR. I ADDED SOME BUBBLES TO THE PRODUCT TO ADD TEXTURE TO THE IMAGE ASWELL AS WATER DROPLETSS, WHICH I DUPLICATED AND ADDED MORE ON FOR A SHARPER EFFECT.
