My product photography sucks...

Urbanfreestyle · 1 Aug 2015 at 23:04

So i'm a keen photographer and mainly shoot Motorsports and street but am very new to product photography. Can anyone give me some pointers on a few shots i have taken of my PC?
these are pretty much straight out of camera converted to jpeg.

yeah, straightening up would be my first step, i just felt they looked a little off color. i might try to do it again in the morning and get some more interesting shots. I think the one of the ram in b/w is the best of the bunch?

Thanks for all the feedback, I'm going to try to take some new ones tomorrow and change the lighting.

right, might swap out to my 24-70, stop it to 2.8 and get close. Even out the lighting and diffuse my LEDs, and possibly use some fill lighting too.
I'll also look into sorting out the contrast and drama in the shots. Hopefully getting a new 8mm Wednesday so can climb inside my case and get some shots lol!

Yeah, i just wanted some nice pictures of my PC, Spent a lot of time building it and i really like it so wanted to show it off...

Urbanfreestyle · 14 Aug 2015 at 01:27

Ok, so perhaps i need to look at things differently and think how and what i want to show off...

Urbanfreestyle · 14 Aug 2015 at 01:31

Thanks for the feedback, i have a few days off so will try again with better lighting and hopefully be able to get the shot i want lol!

No, it was on a tripod, but i think it may have something to do with the wobbly floorboards in my house. will try it again with a lower shutter speed and in a better location with better lighting. :-)
