Product Photography Home Studio Killer Tips

In this video, I take you guys thru the entire process of a home studio product photography shoot. I share with you every detail of my setup, every photo I take and how I made it. I give you my camera settings and flash settings. I also show you my mistakes and how I corrected them.

Product photography requires patience. This is not a quick process and there’s a bit of set up involved. There’s also the mentality. Taking your time to get your exposure just right is critical to getting the right shots.

In this video, I demonstrate the amazing Cactus RF60 speedlites and V6 transceivers using a 4-speedlite setup. The flexibility and power you have with this kind of setup is amazing. Being able to control power to each of your speedlites from the top of the camera is so important, especially when you’re working alone with a lot of lights.

These Cactus flashes and transceiver – receivers, have built-in radio transmitters so they can all send and receive signal. You can set up to 4 groups of flashes in multiple channels, all of which you control a the touch of a button or turn of a dial.

Another amazing thing about the Cactus V6’s is that they come pre-loaded with Canon and Nikon profiles for many of their popular flashes. In this video, I’m using Nikon SB-800 flashes on Cactus V6’s as receivers and able to control the power with the V6 on my camera. AMAZING. And control flash power to the Cactus RF60’s as well.

This video is chock full of killer tips and nuggets. I pop a lot of tips on the screen to help along with the learning process.
