There is a specific gap between knowing how to take a good product photo and running a product photography workflow that a client can rely on consistently. This masterclass is about closing that gap.
We start where most courses stop. Strobe lighting, light modifiers, and multi-light setups are the technical backbone of the first half. You will build setups for four different product categories: skincare and cosmetics, food and beverage, jewellery, and hard goods like electronics or tools. Each category has its own particular challenges with reflection, texture, and scale.
The business side of the work
The second half of the masterclass covers client communication, shot list creation, and file delivery standards. These are not soft skills bolted on at the end. They are what determine whether a client comes back or finds someone else.
We also look at colour accuracy across devices, ICC profiles, and why a file that looks perfect on your monitor can appear warm and dull on a client's screen. This is a technical problem with a straightforward solution that most photographers skip.
