Characteristics and UsesProduct photography is a type of photography usually employed for commercial uses. Typically it is a small table-sized shoot consisting of products, backgrounds and accessories to enhance the products appeal. Many product photography shoots utilise colour relationships found in the colour wheel such as complimentary, harmonious, monochromatic, etc. Setup TypesProduct photographers make use of different setups for different products, usually either Flat lay, Product Box/Tube or Tabletop. A Flat Lay is a the name suggests when you lay the products down on the floor and angle the camera so it is putting down at the products. A Product Box/Tube is a type of softbox that you place the product in, very useful for casting soft light around the product. Meanwhile a Tabletop setup is when you place the the products on a table and take the shoot parallel to the table. Typically all these make use of tripods too.

Additional PhotosSimilarly with the colour gels, I also decided to take the ideas I had for the product photography and do a few at home. Using a couple of the tricks I had previously learnt with the colour gels I was able to manually correct the white balance of the light sources I was using while shooting.
