In this week's macro photography tutorial I show how easy it is to create striking, professional-looking product images using macro skills from the comfort of home. I show how getting up close allows you to find amazing images in the small details on everyday household products, from boots and vacuum cleaners to mini heaters and headphones.
I also demonstrate how using a small, handheld LED light and softbox can transform the look of your macro photos by letting you carve out shadows and shape.
The LED light I show is the Smallrig RC60B: amzn.to/49qIGeC (affiliate link)
The mini, collapsible softbox for the RC60B: amzn.to/49z73Hh (affiliate link)
If you're looking for easy macro ideas and inspiration, turning your macro lens onto products around your house is a great way to polish up your skills and maybe even launch your product photography career!
