This 3-hour session offers a hands-on approach, demonstrating key techniques with three distinct product examples. It starts with how photography impacts brand identity and essential camera settings. Participants will learn to control reflections with a reflective item, create appetising food photos using natural light, and highlight textures with an organic product. The course emphasizes playing with light & props to tell compelling stories. A quick overview of post-production and social media optimisation concludes the session, equipping attendees with practical skills for impactful product photography.
