Samples of products I'm going to be advertising (Commercial: Candy)
(Editorial: Necklaces)
I believe that the pictures I chose above are good examples of strong product photography. I feel that these are good advertisements because the pictures are straight to the point, there's nothing in the pictures that take your eyes away from the products and they are edited to perfection. I've noticed that what's common between these pictures is that the product being advertised is the main focal point. There may be a different background for each picture but the backgrounds used were just made to enhance the product. These photographs' compositions really caught my eye. For the shoes/necklaces, the photographers took advantage of different angles. For the perfume/candy, the photographers made sure to make the perfume's packaging extra shiny and even its contents were made transparent, make the candy's colors pop and even it's logo clearly displayed. I will try to recreate photos with the same techniques by getting low or high for interesting angles for the jewelry and taking advantage of the different lights or settings so I could show off the packaging of the candy. These pictures will be what my photographs will be inspired of.
