Hello, all. I run an ecommerce website for men's and women's sunglasses. I need to start taking pictures of the merchandise using professional lighting equipment. These won't be white stock photos - the sunglasses will be worn by a mannequin. I need lighting equipment but I'm not sure what terminology/items to use and ask for when shopping for this equipment. I imagine that I will probably need a backdrop but it shouldn't be too large. What about small lighting lamps? Umbrellas and such? The photo shoots will be small scale - I'll just be taking pictures of a mannequin wearing sunglasses but I'd like the photos to look professional and well lit.
Can you guys create a basic list of equipment for me?
