It’s easy to look at beautiful product photos on Etsy, Pinterest, and Instagram, think that it comes naturally to most people, and wonder what you’re missing. In reality, it takes a lot of time and practice as well as a little, or even a lot, of patience to learn how to produce high quality product photos. With the right tips and advice, you’ll be on your way to producing the product images you desire.

Testimonials
Natasha: “This e-book ended up impacting my life in a major way! Before reading Rose’s book, and her photography resources blog posts, I struggled with product and blog photography. I had horrible lighting issues, my white balance was perpetually off, I only used free online photo editors, and I was clueless about photography terms like “ISO” and “exposure triangle.” Rose’s resources are what convinced me to purchase Lightroom, which eventually also led to me getting Photoshop. Perhaps most importantly, though, the first edition of Product Photography Made Simple convinced me to abandon shooting in JPG and start shooting in RAW. Without RAW captures, much of the creative work I do today would not be possible…Although Product Photography Made Simple is a fantastic beginner resource, there are also helpful tips for folks who already have some photography experience and Rose’s techniques are easy to use with non-product photography.”
Angie: “If you’re struggling to get the sales you need, or know that your product photography has room for improvement, I can’t suggest this book enough. Rose really does break everything down to its most simple form to help even the most novice of photographers improve their photos. I think my very favorite thing about her advice is that she teaches you to take great pictures before editing. When you can get a picture right on camera, you save so much time in post-processing. (That’s everything you do once you upload your files to the computer)…Whether you need help with lighting and colors, or you want to learn more about editing, you’ll find it here.”

Yes, Jake and I were on a Mediterranean cruise from Memorial Day weekend through mid-June! We spent two mindblowing weeks visiting iconic tourist destinations, exploring European cities, eating fabulous cruise cuisine, and enjoying beautiful late spring/early summer Mediterranean weather and extensive water and port views (shocking that I love staring at water and boats, right?).
