First try at taking product shots. C&C please. Anything I can do better or different. I used a white bed sheet taped to the ceiling for the backdrop, the Canon 20D w/24-70 2.8L, 580 EX bounced as master, 420EX bounced off to the left as a slave. Thanks! :)

Product shots are usually on a plain white background (ie "floating"). If the background isn't plain, it's at least wrinkle free. Reason being, not only for cleanliness, but also so you can stop down far enough to get everything in focus and there's no distraction.

Also you'll want to try to get more light in front of your product(s). Looks like the bag's lines got lost in the shadows. Could just me by monitor though.

If you iron that sheet you'll find your results even more pleasing...especially if you can drape it more in a curve from the wall rather than having that sharp corner in the back. It helps reduce or eliminate shadows.

Having said all that, if you're selling on eBay those are excellent shots. I've seen millions of worse auctions! Just not quite there for retail.

Took me forever to learn, btw...and I still do a ton of trial and error on a lot of stuff.


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)

Yup, is on it's way to ebay. :) Got a G6 coming to replace it! Thanks for the advice, I do need to iron that sheet, hehe, but for ebay, ehh. :D

Maybe using white sheets of printer paper will work for smaller items? This is a pic I took of a mobile phone I needed to sell. Three sheets of white paper, then outline and gaussian blur on the paper til the seams disappeared. Don't know how "pro" it is, but it worked for me... :-)

PS... I understand there's a shadow, but I'm sure if I had actually spent the time to light it properly, it would have turned out ok!
