I work with artisans to take photos of their creations for Etsy, blogs, print, etc. I am more of a marketer who ends up taking photos, as opposed to a real photographer I have a Canon Rebel T2, a decent sized lightbox & a Cowboy Studio 320 W strobe/flash/softbox (two) setup for my use. Plus Photoshop. I have found that taking photos of the creations outside, against a building, creates a photographic "look" that the artisans like and help sells the product. With winter weather approaching, this is no longer feasible. How can I recreate that nice white overcast lighting indoors? I can purchase more equipment besides the strobe flashes that I have, but I have no idea what to purchase. This product photography is all I will ever be doing in the upcoming year or so (no portraits, no artsy stuff). Attached are photos of my outdoor lighting sample and the indoor lighting sample. The indoor one has harsh shadows plus doesn't show off the product as-is. The outdoor photo looks exactly like the product is in real-life. Help? Much appreciated.
