Ask me anything about photography...[pic]

51......

Hmmmmm....my very first apprentice job working for a photographer years ago
was for a product shooter. I've shot product on and off over the last 15 years
for different projects but it's not the kind of photography that I enjoy shooting.

One thing that I'd say about that list of products that you listed is that some
of those will be harder to shoot than the others. There is no "one lighting
situation" that will work for everything. Products that are shinny and reflective
will need to be photographed differently than a product that doesn't reflect.
Candle pictures will look much nicer if you actually have the candle lit in the
picture and getting a good exposure of the candle as well as the flame could
be a challenge for you without the right gear and some knowledge of
photography.

Also, I might ad that professional pictures on that site will probably result
in more sales. And with that in mind...I would consider either hiring someone
to shoot that product for you or having someone come in and consult with
you about the best way to go about shooting it yourself.

Here's that bear pic that you mentioned in your thread. It's a simple 3 light
setup. One flash as the mainlight and two tunsten lights. The big challenge
for this picture was not blowing out all the white fur on this bear and making
sure there was detail there.
