Product photography
Please advise on product photography. I list electronic test equipment
on my website. I have a 7 mega pixel camera. I just tried using a white-white background for my pictures but after much effort I finally realized that a very-white background is not the best solution. I wish to use Photoshop to eliminate the background behind the equipment so each item appears to float. Exactly like is done in many product catalogs. I know this is very common but there must be a trick or technique I'm not aware of. Of course I'd like the best quality, professional pictures possible but I do understand that people spend many years to become proficient in photography. So, I am realistic in my expectations. But, I know I can get getter pictures than I have currently. First, is there and good online info on using a digital camera for product photograph (product advertising)? Second, what background would be best. Do I need a green-screen? Obviously, a white-white background is not the answer. Plus the white-ness seems to compete with the darker colors, especially black, and the camera doesn't seem to process the scene correctly. |
