How to take amazing product photos with limited gear (and experience). This is a tutorial on how I take my product photos for my website and Etsy page. I am not a professional photographer at all, so I show you how an amateur can take professional photos with just a little bit of gear and some practice. The method I'll be demonstrating is called "Light Painting," and I definitely didn't invent it. But I'll show you how to buy the right gear, take the photos, and even edit them in Lightroom. If I left anything out, please don't hesitate to ask me in the comments. I'm pretty good about responding, and an open book on my technique.
