LESSON / LIGHT TABLE

Photograph every product with the same simple setup.

Consistency matters more than expensive equipment. Fix the table, light direction, camera height and sequence before photographing the catalogue.

Put a project on the bench

Make one soft-light station

Place the table beside a large window rather than in direct sun. Use white card as the background and another white surface opposite the window to lift deep shadows.

Repeat five useful views

Capture the front, a three-quarter view, the side, a close detail and a scale reference. Keep the phone lens clean, avoid digital zoom and lock focus on the product.

Process as a set

Crop every item to the same aspect ratio, balance brightness without changing the product colour, then resize and export through the image tool. Compare the full row of products before publishing.
