How to: photograph your teaware. A beginner's guide.
Posted: Jul 2nd, '09, 16:11
I found this article from DPS today. It's an easy how-to aimed at people imaging products for sites like ebay and etsy. I know I've gotten questions regarding shooting teaware on this board, as (I suspect) have others. This might be a helpful guide for those who feel like teaware stills are beyond their capability. There are also some good tips in the comment, including my favorite: USE A TRIPOD!
DPS article: How to...
I thought this might be a good "tips" thread, and later I will try to flesh it out with some images and specs. Maybe I'll do some shots using my point and shoot too, with settings included, for the sake of completeness.
Note that the article tutorial is not aimed at art shots, but rather at product shots, which are meant to show the items clearly and to their best (realistic) advantage.
There are several people on forum who do (or have done) commercial photography and product shots, maybe they would be inclined to post images or information about their stills set-ups? lightboxes? tips? (shyrabbit, bonjiri, tead, sal... I'm looking at you. Any others I'm missing?)
