How to Shoot Products for eBay with Joe & Mirta Barnet - LA
If your goal is to create better images of things to sell online such as on eBay or for print catalog use, this class is for you. You can create great product photography and build your portfolio on your kitchen table, with gear that you might already own.
Instructors Joe and Mirta Barnet will teach you to create a “set” for small and medium products and how to light different products on several types of backgrounds. The use of soft boxes, umbrellas, reflectors and other light modifiers will be discussed. The difference between shooting product for an online ad or a catalogue will be covered. How to avoid or work with reflections, how to achieve accurate color on the final product and basic post production will be included.
Technical Level: Beginning and intermediate. A fair working knowledge of your camera, including manual mode, and your speed light are very helpful to get the most out of this class. If possible, review your camera and speed light’s manuals before attending.
Topics to be Covered Include:
Off camera manual flash and metering
Camera settings and best focal lengths
Light modifiers and reflectors
Tenting small products like jewelry
How to interpret your camera’s histogram
How to achieve the best depth of field
Shooting tethered to a large TV monitor
How to work with different surfaces like shiny, dull, light and dark
How to “pose” products
How to use props
What to Bring:
DSLR or Mirrorless camera
Fully charged battery
Lenses: a 100mm or 105mm macro (Canon or Nikon) or a 50mm or 55mm (Canon or Nikon) or similar would be great. A 24-70mm zoom would also be very good, or a prime or zoom including 50mm to 120mm
Memory card(s)
Your speed light (flash)
A tripod if you have one, very important. We will have 1 or 2 for the class to use but having your own will allow for more shooting time for each participant.
PocketWizard remote triggering device if you have one (don’t purchase one before the class if you don’t already own one)
Note taking materials
You do not need to bring a computer, unless you like to take notes that way. A handout will be provided.
