1. How to with MOO: Product photography on a budget
In brightly lit room in front of an open window, photographed products tend to be flat and uninteresting. The bright light washes away all the detail, and also causes harsh shadows, which detract from the texture, shape and content of your product.
Things to avoid:
* Avoid taking photographs in rooms with bare windows - this will cause a harsh light source on the product (causing the above problems.)
* Watch for shadows, including your own. Preventing the shadows caused by a window frame or camera strap is way easier than editing them out after.
* Avoid taking photos with the light source i.e. window directly in front of you as this will cause your camera to expose for the bright window and leave the product under-exposed.
* If the light is too bright, try adding a diffuser to the window such as a side curtain or in our case (seen later) a window blind. This will diffuse (or scatter) the light more softly.
