Lighting

The type of lighting you use plays a big part in how well your product pictures will look. One of the most important things, no matter the lighting you choose, is that it be indirect. Direct lighting casts shadows. So find a way to filter the light that is illuminating your item.

I took some pictures using a variety of lightbulbs. All of these were lighting the item through a photobox, like the one I showed from Walmart.

White typing paper. Unedited photos.

Filtering the light makes such a difference! Now the process of editing will be so much easier, because you have a good start already. :-)
