Cosmetics

If you watch any of our product photography classes, you’ll soon see there are a few key considerations that will help you photograph cosmetics.

Background choice, lighting and styling are important aspects of any shoot, and cosmetics are no different. With this challenge, depth of field will be a further factor you’ll have to consider. Working close up to small products like cosmetics may mean you struggle with getting sufficient depth of field, which means you may have to consider focus stacking. Think about all of this before you start shooting — pre-visualise and plan your shot to maximise your chances of a smooth and successful shoot.

Below are a few recommended classes that you may find useful.
