What You Will Learn?

  • Are you looking for a complete and easy guide to product photography lighting? Then this class is for you!.
  • Hi! My name is Rose, I am a food and product photographer. My mission as a photographer is to help small business owners and online sellers increase sales and online presence through scroll stopping photos. It took me a lot of practice, a bit of regretful client photoshoots and tons of mistakes before I discovered not just proper lighting for product photography but different ways I can set up my scene to tell different stories. It’s amazing how you can transform your images by being intentional with your light setup and that’s what I am excited to share in this class :)  .
  • It does not matter what digital camera you are using, may it be a DSLR, mirrorless or your iPhone camera, you can definitely join this class. Basic knowledge in photography is an advantage but not a requirement..

  • By the end of the class, I will show you different ways that you can set up your product photography lighting for different effects. .
  • For the first two demos I will be using natural light to create a light and airy and a dark and dramatic scene. Then for the last two demos I will be using artificial light to create a bright and warm as well as a soft and cool look..
  • My goal in this class is to help you master lighting in product photography so you can be confident to shoot your products anywhere :) I hope you'll join me and I'll see you in class! .
