- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi All I am new to this forum I am looking for some professional advice on product photography
I take pictures (of clothing) for my site with a plain white screen. However i get a lot of problems with the lighting mainly on whites and light colours with the screen looking yellowish and shadowing.
I was advised to buy some normal halogen work lamps (as pro studio lights are too expensive)so i purchased a set i have the option of 2x500W, 2x 250W or 2x150W lamps
What i want to know is what is the best lamp to use for product photography?
Also how do i set up the lamps?
Do I: -
1) Put the lamps behind me on the product as i shoot
2) Put the lamp in front of me but hitting the screen behind the produt
3) put the lamp behind the screen so the light comes through
Basically I would like a clear crisp white background without the expense of a pro studio and hours of editing in photoshop as there is simply to many products being pictured to photoshop them all. But I also what the best colouring of the product as some colurs tend to look different than they actually are. I am not a pro photographer and dont know much about ISO's white balance etc etc so i need it to be simple
Thanks In Advance
