How you present your product is essential to selling it, so the way it looks online will be key to the buying decision. If you are one of those people who make their own products at home, there is no reason to neglect their image by photographing them on a table or with your bedroom curtains in the background.
On a Chinese photography blog, the editor shows a simple way for anyone, with no extra investment, to take professional photos of their products.
All we need is our computer (a laptop is much better), a notebook or a sheet of card (ideally with a slightly reflective finish), a thin sheet to filter the light a little, and a lamp. We choose whatever background we want, which in the blog’s example is a blurred wallpaper on the screen, and that’s it. We will have taken a completely professional photo of our product.
I am no photography expert, but I imagine that by changing the colours of the sheet, the background and the base, we can get all kinds of effects depending on the product we sell and how we want to show it to the public. The effect it achieves is certainly remarkably good, and it is easy to do.
