How to Shoot on White Background PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

What are you struggling with in product photography?

[@slavbarbie]

Getting good, vibrant colors with good contrasts is a real issue for me! I think that white background would elevate my photos a lot. Thank you!

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

@@slavbarbie Your welcome. If you are using manual settings, you should be able to get good contrast with decent color. all the white can really play tricks on a camera

eye wear product....in white background...

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

@@bestactionfilms Yes, that can be a big challenge. Might try to make a video on it.

Whoa! Love how easy you make your videos to follow. Usually when I hear Photoshop work is required, I instantly think “Oh gosh…gonna be some drawn out process”. But the way you showed it is fantastically simple and makes me want to actually try this. Thx!

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

Thank you. You should try it, it is not hard and the more you do it the better you will get.

[@Gerald_G]

[@rheaganlee9684]

This video was very helpful! Thank you! Can you do a video about shooting shiny labels? Like gold foil letters on a bottle?

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

All thought it is cutlery/food photography I explain it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKDUknubrZushbs This video on shiny objects may help to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmbZnGN9qK2FidE If your still struggling give me a shout.

[@lorraineblack183]

Fabulous video, I think I can try this for my luxury candles. I am not sure what background to use as my jars are white ceramic? 🏴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

Thank you. You can do white on white, but to make your product pop a bit more try maybe off white, light grey. Or play with the background based on the smell, like ocean breeze on a light blue or shade there of. Romantic, think your reds, pinks etc. You can also base your background color on the ingredients. Sometimes a pure white background is not the best option.

[@Michael-fw5ef]

I have trouble doing product photography when my item is a vitamin bottle. It's hard to get everything in focus and it's difficult to get the lighting right so portions of the bottle aren't over-exposed while other portions of the same bottle aren't under-exposed.

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

For light add a 2nd light on the darker side or use a bounce card to fill in shadows. for focus increase your depth of field or use focus stacking. Here is a video on focus stacking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGPbln6pfM6igaM

[@denagudnyy7098]

Hi there thank you so much for all your tips! I’m just starting so kinda clueless, do you need extra lighting or can you use natural lighting? Thank you so much!! :)

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

Your welcome. Yes you can use natural light. To get the back white i would use the natural light behind the subject and use white foam core or any white or silver surface to bounce light onto the sides and front of the subject. If the light is to harsh use a window sheer or anything to diffuse the natural light.

[@buddystylediff2941]

Good day how do u shoot on white and also have some shadow on the side??

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

Move your main light to the side. adjust the main light till you get the effect you want. The product will block some of the light making a shadow, Make sure your background light is not to strong or it will blow out the table surface and burn out the shadow.

[@buddystylediff2941]

Then how do i clean it without removing the shadow.

[@MichaelCGrayPhotography]

@@buddystylediff2941 In photoshop use the doge tool set to highlights or you can simply use a pure white brush and paint white where you want it

[@buddystylediff2941]

Thanks alot lemme get to it.....
