LEVEL UP Your Product Photography! 5 Studio Lighting Setup Technique For Beginners
In this tutorial I'm taking you through 5 lighting setups I use in my home studio. These product photography lighting setups will give you ideas if you're a beginner in studio lighting on how to level up your photos! Knowing how to light a product in the best way possible WILL make you a better brand photographer.
Just remember, there are NO rules when it comes to lighting in product photography. Sure, there are guidelines and concepts but it's all about being creative and then learning how to retouch your photos in Photoshop to enhance your light even more!

showing the before (unphotoshopped) and after really helps! i think so many clients dont value the post editing and a camera is not the definitive 100% end result :,)

[@amandacampeanu]

Absolutely! Sooo much work goes into editing just one photo. People won’t realise this unless they actually do it themselves.

Hi Amanda, I love all your videos. I want to start product photography and this video gives lot of ideas for me to start.

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

I typically use my flash strobes for small product, but this is excellent how small products can be lit with RGB LED lights like Aperture and SL60, and also window light. I certainly learned a lot here and I will try continuous light not just flash. Thanks! Wondering how much you use continous light sources vs. flash softbox these days for product? Is it 50/50?

Amanda, your chanel is perfect! Your communication is clear and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

I loved! I found your channel today and I'm going to watch all the videos. I have a doubt about the last lighting, did you use godox's continuous light along with mini led or did you trigger the godox flash?

[@amandacampeanu]

Thanks so much for watching! 🙏 in this video I’ve only used continuous lighting but now I usually only use strobe with maybe a continuous light for fill if I need it 😊

[@anulearntech]

@@amandacampeanu I think if you want to freeze motion, then a more powerful strobe is going to be beneficial and one can use the modelling lamp to simulate the image.

[@rachelellis8056]

Thanks for sharing all this info :) I've just bought my own setup and was wondering how much natural light is in your scene? Do you have curtains closed or do you let a little natural light in?

[@amandacampeanu]

You’re so welcome! Sometimes I will have them open and others time not. I’m using strobe now so I’m able to have them open or closed and still get nice light. It also depends on how your window and natural light interact with your products and if they create unwanted reflections.

Hey does the godox fv150 that you linked come with a stand?

Any suggestions for Lip Scrub & lip gloss tubes,? Prop suggestions

[@amandacampeanu]

Radha personally I love pedestals for props for small items. It really depends on what kind of look and aesthetic you’re trying to achieve. I would use the texture of the scrub as well and take some out of the tub and maybe do a smear of the product. 😊

[@cookstyleshoothealthyrecip9080]

Is the soft box directed at the backdrop ? In the back or is it on the side

[@amandacampeanu]

I usually have my light on the right hand side and it's directed at the products. As the scene is quite small in terms of space and my softbox is large, the light also lights up the background at the same time.

[@vanessag7757]

[@leatherforpets3636]

Hello , I have the same aperture mc but i have never managed to light a product decently because the flash overpowers it . Whats the secret? :)

[@amandacampeanu]

In this tutorial I’m not using flash with the aperture lights. If you’re using with flash you’d have to turn your flash intensity down or use a larger light

[@mdlimon505]

Can you make a video how to do product photography with one light

[@synkdigital356]

I bought the neweer soft box you have mentioned and i just received it. It turned out to be an umbrella for flash light. Couldn’t attach it to my fv150 nor the sl60w. Not sure what to do now as i need the 37inch softbox that cane get attached easily to eithe of my lights. Thanks

[@amandacampeanu]

You need a modifier that has a bowens mount for the fv150 and SL60w. Double check the photo and description when purchasing gear to ensure it’s the right one you need and it fits your light. If you definitely bought a softbox (and not an umbrella) maybe the supplier sent you the wrong one? I’d double check your order and the description of the product.

[@synkdigital356]

Do you ever use soft boxes on both lights? Is one without a soft-box to create shadows? Sorry I’m not really good at understanding photography 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sometimes yes but often no as I love working with shadows. It totally depends on the kind of look you’re going for. If you didn’t want any hard shadows you would use 2 soft boxes 😊

[@foreverjenuwin8793]

I don't understand why so many photographers feel the need to edit their photos. I understand if you are layering your shots like you did - but if you take the picture right the first time there is no need for any post production work accept for cropping or centering. I use a Canon Rebel T8i and I shoot wirelessly tethered, I immediately see my shot on my 3rd monitor and I can make any adjustments (ISO, exposure compensation, f/stop etc.) with the Canon EOS software. No post production editing needed. Maybe I'll have to move a light but that's all. Great video & congrats to you for making a name for yourself as a brand photographer! You sure do make those products look spectacular!

[@amandacampeanu]

I think in the world of commercial photography where the photos are being taken for specific advertising purposes (which is the industry I’m in), editing greatly enhances a photo to make it so much more eye catching than a RAW image. If you saw some of my before and afters you’d probably think the before photos look terrible haha. And no one would even be stopped in their scroll to look at the image. Post production is also an expression of creativity as well as you can do so much with an image in editing. It’s very rare that a photo doesn’t need further editing when it comes to commercial work 😊

[@foreverjenuwin8793]

@@amandacampeanu As Austin Powers would say "That's not my bag baby" I sell high end collectables online and I strive for consistency, and to provide an accurate visual representation of the exact item (flaws included). I have zero knowledge of commercial work. I have put alot of money into my gear and equipment. I shoot tethered (wireless) with my Canon Rebel T8i and I do get creative with some items i.e... reflective surface, gradient backdrop, under lighting, acrylic risers etc. My biggest pet peeve is when I see photos of items on peoples dryers, countertops etc and when they are dusty dirty...Geez get some white paper and a damp rag for crying out loud! I'm self taught; started with a Sony Cybershot, then a Fuji Fine Pix, Canon Rebel XTi, Rebel T6i and now the T8i. And I owe KZbinrs like you a lot of credit. Between trial & error I have learned a tremendous amount from folks like you over the last 7+ years. 😊👍 Although highly reflective items are still a royal pain 😆 I get my creative on by doing macro photography of flowers, dew on the grass, anything that catches my eye. Thank you for taking time from your schedule to reply. I hope this message finds you well :)
