More product photography

Once again I'm looking at product photography & commercial photographers to get ideas for my final project. I took some photos in the studio to get my project rolling and I think they turned out ok for my first time being in the studio. I kept the setup simple and just tried to make the objects look good. One photographer I found was Rob Greer and I liked what he had to say about commercial work: "As a professional product photographer, I know that an important part of creating a successful photograph of your product involves capturing the actual image, conveying subtleties and textures in the product's materials, and maintaining color fidelity. I pay close attention to lighting, color management,
and other technical considerations to provide superior product photography for my clients. Many of my projects involve photographing objects on black or white backgrounds. However, some projects are more complex and require specialized backgrounds, custom sets, props, or product styling."

I think that pretty much sums up the basics of product photography and are the key things you need to look for when setting up a shot. Of course his website was flash so i couldn't save images to post here & all I could find on google was his wedding photography, which he also does.

Another photographer I found-who finally doesn't have a flash website, is Marty Kelly from San Francisco. He is a primarily a food photographer, but also does some product work as well. I like how he incorporates other objects with the main product so the whole image works together and it's not necessarily just a thing sitting on a white table, which I think can help sell an object because it's the whole package. I may try to incorporate this into my work.
