This course provides you with the practical knowledge to photograph products in ways that communicate their value clearly. You'll develop confidence in studio setups, learn to control lighting for different materials, and understand how to create images suitable for commercial use.
Lighting Clarity
Understand how to set up and adjust studio lighting to eliminate unwanted shadows and create clean, professional images of various product types.
Technical Foundation
Gain practical knowledge of camera settings, angles, and composition specific to product work, allowing you to approach each shoot with purpose.
Commercial Readiness
Leave the course with images that reflect professional standards and the ability to create product photography for your own business or clients.
The Challenges You Might Be Facing
Perhaps you've been photographing products with available light or basic setups, finding that the results don't quite convey the quality you know your products possess. Shadows appear in unexpected places, colors don't render accurately, or the images simply lack the polish you see in professional product photography.
You might feel uncertain about which equipment you actually need or how to use what you already have more effectively. The technical aspects of lighting ratios, white balance, and exposure can seem complex when you're working alone without guidance.
If you're considering selling products online or offering photography services, you may be wondering how to bridge the gap between your current capabilities and the professional standard that commercial work requires. This uncertainty can hold you back from pursuing opportunities that interest you.
Our Approach to Teaching Product Photography
This course takes you through the fundamentals in a practical, hands-on way. Rather than overwhelming you with theory, we focus on building your understanding through direct experience with real products and professional studio equipment.
Lighting Fundamentals in Practice
We begin with basic lighting setups you can replicate, showing you how different configurations affect various product surfaces. You'll work with reflective items, matte finishes, and transparent materials to understand how light behaves with each. By the end of the first few sessions, you'll know how to control your lighting environment rather than struggling against it.
Background and Styling Decisions
You'll learn to make informed choices about backgrounds and basic styling that enhance rather than distract from the product. This includes understanding when to use white backgrounds for clean commercial work versus when contextual elements serve your purpose better.
Camera Techniques for Product Work
The course covers camera settings and angles specific to product photography. You'll understand depth of field considerations for showing product details, how to achieve sharp focus across the entire item, and composition principles that make products visually appealing while remaining honest representations.
Budget-Conscious Equipment Guidance
We provide recommendations for building your own setup without requiring extensive investment. You'll learn what equipment is truly necessary versus what's helpful but optional, allowing you to make decisions based on your specific situation and goals.
What Working Together Looks Like
Over six weeks, you'll attend sessions where theory is immediately applied to practical exercises. Each class builds on the previous one, giving you time to practice and integrate what you're learning.
Week 1-2: Lighting Foundation
You'll start with single-light setups and progress to multi-light configurations. We work with different product types so you can see how the same principles apply across various items. You'll leave these sessions able to set up basic studio lighting independently.
Week 3-4: Technical Refinement
These sessions focus on camera work and composition. You'll practice achieving the sharpness and color accuracy that commercial work requires, learning to work efficiently while maintaining quality standards.
Week 5-6: Integration and Application
The final weeks bring everything together through complete product shoots. You'll work through the entire process from setup to final image, receiving feedback on both technical execution and commercial viability of your results.
Ongoing Support
Throughout the course, you can ask questions about your specific challenges or goals. The small class size allows for individual attention and guidance tailored to what you're trying to achieve with product photography.

How Progress Develops
The course structure allows you to build competence progressively. You'll notice improvement in your ability to control lighting and camera settings within the first few sessions, with increasingly polished results as you practice and integrate the techniques.
Practical Skill Development
Each session includes hands-on practice time where you work with actual products and equipment. This direct application helps solidify your understanding more effectively than theory alone. You'll receive specific feedback on your work, allowing you to adjust and improve your approach.
Portfolio Building
By course completion, you'll have a collection of product images that demonstrate your capability to create professional-quality work. These images can serve as portfolio pieces when approaching potential clients or as the foundation for your own e-commerce presence.
Realistic Expectations

You won't emerge as a seasoned commercial photographer, but you will have the foundation to pursue that path if you choose, along with the ability to create quality product images for immediate use.
Continued Application
The techniques and understanding you gain can be applied immediately and refined through practice. Many participants find that their confidence in approaching product photography increases significantly, opening up possibilities they hadn't previously considered.
