Product photography is something I’m being asked to do. I have the tools (or maybe not) Nikon Z7ii and Z MC 105 lens, a tripod, remote shutter release.

It began with a bottle of alcoholic beverage, And now I got an expensive Bourbon that requires a white clean background with no shadows for the graphic designer.

I called B&H, explained that I have the skill to capture Eagles at the Conowingo dam with a Z9 and long glass, I have a full fledge kids portrait studio, lighting softboxes, props, and everything in between. but I have never done products professionally, and I’m being asked to do so. Why say no to additional opportunities? I don’t want to use my giant soft boxes for products, I want them to stay where they are.

So the rep recommended this

I would love to learn more / read more about this genre of photography.

Any ideas? Tips? Do’s and dont’s?

Thanks 🙏

I think you'll find more professional product photographers on the "Open Talk Forum".
