As a product photographer, I get asked a lot about what kind of lighting setup I use for my shots. And one of the most common questions I get is whether or not ring lights are good for product photography.
In short, the answer is a definite yes!
Let me explain why.
First of all, ring lights provide a really even, soft light that’s perfect for highlighting products. This makes them ideal for capturing the details and textures of your products in a way that’s flattering and natural-looking.
Secondly, ring lights are also great for creating a consistent lighting setup. This is especially important for product photographers who need to shoot a large number of items in a short amount of time. With a ring light, you can quickly and easily set up your lighting so that every shot looks exactly the same, which makes it much easier to create a cohesive product portfolio.
Another reason why ring lights are so good for product photography is their size. Unlike other lighting setups, ring lights are compact and easy to transport, which makes them perfect for photographers who need to shoot on location or in small spaces.
Finally, ring lights are also really versatile. You can use them for close-up shots, as well as full-length shots, and they can be mounted on a tripod or a light stand for maximum flexibility.
So, if you’re a product photographer looking for a reliable, versatile lighting setup, I definitely recommend giving ring lights a try. They might just become your new go-to lighting solution!
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
