DIY Product Photography – EASY, PROFESSIONAL LOOKING and CHEAP (w/ Camera or Phone)

Product photography is a huge industry. Having amazing product photos is really important when you’re trying to sell online. However, it’s not as hard as it seems. In this video I am going to teach you how to take super simple and professional product photos.

With this method you will be able to use items you have at home and if there are some things you don’t have, it will cost you less than $10 for all the materials. I got all the items at Walgreens but if you’d prefer to order them online, here is the links below:

I couldn’t find the large flexible white paper on Amazon, so I advise just going to Walgreens, Walmart, etc. It’ll be cheaper.

I am a truck driver but you're explaining things super simple to understand with comparable example . I am forever owe you this knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing sir Simpson..

This tutorial was so helpful. I really liked how simple and approachable the video was. Nothing flashy or weird, and you just used simple things you can find at home or the mall. Amazing video, man.

Excellent video not only did you provide an inexpensive set up but, but showed the effects of using the different lighting elements which is crucial for beginning photographers thank you so much best video on youtube!

[sidneysmith]

Thank you for actually showing the results of how the light is effected!

[simplefaithanddaisies]

Thank you so much. I literally realized I had my cubby (cube organizer shelf) unit that i could use the little cube as a light box. I already had a can light and diffused it and put a white board behind the cube section of shelf. THANK YOU!

Awesome video. I've done something similar, but wasn't aware that about using white surfaces on the sides and the "cloud". I will definitely add it to the setup.
Here's a tip from me. You can buy a picture frame with glass for pretty cheap and put the glass flat on the surface underneath the item. It creates a cool reflection!
Also, I put everything except the light source inside a large cardboard box (with 2 walls removed) which allows for the setup to be mobile.

Bro you definitely earned my like and subscribe. It’s the least I can do for you sharing something this valuable for free. Thanks so much for your help. You’ve made a difference.

One of the best, no fluff instructional video I’ve seen in a long time! Thanks again!

[BrandonZickefoose]

This was literally PERFECT and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you SO MUCH for an easy, thoughtful, and thorough lesson while still staying around 10 minutes! This was perfect and I can take this information with me for life! ❤

[Sydney.Bright]

i just found this channel, i love how you know how to talk to real real beginners!

[sanityseeker]

Personally, I like the natural light with nothing else the best for product photos. It clearly shows the correct color and allows the details of imperfection to come through. I think the examples you provided show that. I have the lowest return rate when I just take photos outside, instead of indoors with lamps and a box.

[fastwaterec]

Super cool tips. My belts are a little larger but same concept. Thanks for the time you put into this.

[vanessat]

I appreciate this video so much. I’ve been struggling with not having enough natural lighting at home for my photos and it’s making me less motivated. Your setup is what I needed. Thank you so much for your knowledge and willingness to share!

[AB-gqcz]

You are GEM! This is exactly what I was looking for. I am planning to start a business, don't have the budget for professional photography but didn't want to have rubbish photos either. THANK YOU!

[susanitagomez]

First time in 3 years trying to get my products´ photos right that someone actually explained why and where to use the white "bouncing" cardboard and the "cloud". Now it makes sense. THANK YOU!
