CNPP Photography Studio has compiled some examples of lighting in product photography, every product photo you see is the result of our photographer's careful lighting, sometimes to show the perfect angle light and texture of the product, our photographer will repeatedly adjust the position and intensity of the photographic light, no matter whether it is the Amazon e-commerce platform product photography or product photography in product cataloguesCNPP Photography The studio strives to take the most perfect product photos for your products.

 

For your viewing and understanding, we follow the order of the final original photo - the scene lighting diagram - the lighting process, you can see the light and shadow effect and structure of the photographed products intuitively according to the lighting diagram. In addition to the placement of the light of the lighting diagram, CNPP product photography studio photographers in the shooting also need to think about the material of the product,  what kind of light can show the material, what angle can reflect the structure, what distance can be controlled excess and level, universal light strictly does not exist.
