If you're diving into product photography, lighting is your best friend. Great lighting can take your photos from ordinary to jaw-dropping. With a few simple tips, you'll learn how to highlight your art supplies beautifully. Natural light is often the easiest option—just find a well-lit window and shoot during the day. This soft, diffused light helps showcase colors and details clearly. But if it's cloudy or you're shooting at night, don’t worry! Invest in a basic softbox or LED lights for consistent results.
Positioning is key, too. Always avoid harsh shadows by placing lights at a 45-degree angle from your subject. Experiment with different angles until you find the sweet spot. Using reflectors can help fill in shadows and add a pop to your images. And don’t forget to keep your background simple and clutter-free so your art supplies really shine. With the right lighting setup, your product photos will capture attention and get those potential buyers clicking “add to cart.”
