Doing product and promotional photography for a local adult store. Everyone loved it but I want to improve, esp the first photo. How does one deal with the reflection?
How can I practice in right way?

Hi everyone
I’m a content creator for fun and as a side hustle. Part of what I do includes filming products that I use on the daily. For filming my shower routine, I have tried to achieve this lighting above, but everytime I do, the color looks more white, and doesn’t have that same warmth. In the last photo I included a pic of the tub illuminated, maybe to get a better idea of what type of light?
I tried to ask the creator who has this film set up for their video but she didn’t want to share. She says she uses candles but it’s obvious that there’s also something else illuminating the products from the front. I use a basic clip on led light. I’m not too educated on lighting. I attached a pic of what I use at the end. Can you guys help me out? I don’t believe that the coloring is also edited too much. When I have tried to increase the warmth on my video, it changes the color of everything if I do too much. To little adjustment of temperature/warmth/HSL for video doesn’t make the video as warm as I’d like it to be. Also, the clip on light I use, it makes it look like I’m filming with the flash so the entire video looks very harsh and not soft like the photos above.
I must apologize in advance. This video offers no value to your workflow. Sometimes, it is needed simply to be silly.
I have both and take images of everything from small jewellery items to larger consumer electronics products. I was wondering how folks feel which is the better all round lens or has each lens simply niche areas where it will excel with particular product types. I mainly shoot using flash heads and soft boxes.
Hi
I have been getting in to doing some product photography (alcohol bottles) and i have been using the Godox TT600 as it was pretty cheap but quite effective, i would like to try and do some videos as well which need continuous light, does anyone have any suggestions for something similarly budget friendly but can achieve decent enough results?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
The main challenge in illuminating a perfume lies in the liquid’s glow—especially with transparent glass—and many beginners attempt direct front lighting. You will get a lit label, but nothing further. That approach will never work. Depending on the angle of the shot, you almost always need to light it from the back—either through a diffuser or directly—based on your shooting position. In other situations, a spotlight may be required to light the background and create the “glow effect”. ( but thats a tip foe a different shot)
Recently I've gotten lazy and just use my Godox speedlight flash + macro diffusor to take pictures of watches, instead of setting up the photobox. It makes it a bit difficult (or rather impossible) to get a perfect angle + lighting (considering the reflection on the glass), but otherwise it's really a simple, quick and easy setup for a good photo.
What do you think? Or am I just justifying my lazyness?
Hi
i have seen in some tutorials that you can change the background of a photo if you use a monotone colour like white letting you change the colour for different variants or to something closer matching to the product, is this possible in products that have transparent/translucent elements, like bottles or liquids or is it not worth it given that it would change the colour of things like the liquid in less obvious ways? if the original colour is close enough can you push it slightly to better match what you want, or should you just always try to get it finalised in camera?
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
A relatively straightforward lighting setup for an on-white jewelry photograph. A top light with a diffuser is paired with two custom-bent acrylic panels at the sides, each receiving its own light.
Looking for advice! I’m trying to start selling my custom tote bags outside of friends and family but I am horrible at taking photos or knowing how to make them look good. I’ve tried to play with putting things in them to show how much they carry but it always looks bad. Any recommendations for how to fill them or photograph them?
(For reference, the inside lining is the main fun part so I want to be able to make that look good but it just looks boring to me and you can’t really tell how big the different sizes are.)

Hi
I have a Tamron 90mm macro and a sony a6700 which is apsc, which makes the tamron 135mm, i have seen that around 80-100mm on full frame is popular, would this 135mm equivalent be workable or is it too much? If it isn't does anyone have any recommendations for a good lens for product photography (glass bottles of alcohol) on Sony APS-C?
Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I want to get nice and clear top down pictures of my keychains but there is always a glare that makes the keychains look awful / blocks the design.
I tried without the diffuser fabric and with it
How do I take photos without the glare messing up my keychains? I see so many clear photos on Etsy 😭

Hi,
I would like to do some use fake ice for some product photos (alcohol), real ice is a massive, pain and i dont want to spend £70 on a single ice cube, can you get away with the acrylic ice cubes like you can see on amazon? I have seen that Encapso K silicone can be used, but is £50 (though you get 1kg worth) i thought it would be best to ask before buying anything, if anyone has any suggestions for good places to get it in the UK i would be very grateful.
Some of my clients are struggling with the current economy and booking less photography.
My instinct is actually to offer more instead of less: more product images, lifestyle shots, room scenes and short videos instead of just one or two white-background photos.
I’d like clients to see me less as a cost and more as someone who helps them sell more.
My idea is to offer one or two existing clients a heavily discounted case study. I’d re-shoot their three best-selling products with:
I’m thinking about a 50–70% discount. The goal wouldn’t really be profit, but getting a strong reference project.
In return, I’d want access to sales data and permission to use the results in my marketing.
For example: sales start at a 100% baseline, and after 12 months they’re at 130–150%. Obviously I couldn’t claim photography was the only reason, but if the same pattern happened across 2–3 products, I think that could still be a strong sales argument.
Does this sound like a smart idea and is this even useful for me?
