The basic requirements for a still-life/product photography studio are:
This way, you have absolute control over lighting ratios and color temperatures.
This image of a Motorola cell phone is a typical product shot, created against a white background. Images like this can be photographed easily in a small studio space with very basic equipment.
1. Enough room to get lights in front of, behind, and all around your subject. 2. The ability to block off exterior light (sunlight, etc.) so that you can control all of the light striking your subjects. This way, you have absolute control over lighting ratios and color temperatures. 3. Conveniently located wall sockets for your lights. 4. Lots of shelves and storage to keep the lighting accessories you will invent, the props you just can’t bear to throw away, and the lighting support gear that tends to grow and reproduce on its own.
