Course 1 is an all-inclusive package, aimed at bringing you up to speed within a goup of up to six. This one is great to meet and get inspired by other makers
Course 2 is the customized one-on-one coaching version for one webshop only. Here, we address your product individually and go much deeper into its specific marketing needs and make sure you walk out with first usable images.
If you first need to get to know the basic functions of your camera, we recommend taking the course BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY 1 in advance.
Product Photography 1
You will learn to setup a seamless product photography workflow for your visual marketing needs:
- Camera gear and setup
- Smartphone vs camera
- product photography workflow setup
- Color and exposure consistency
- Studio light formers
- Artificial vs natural light
- General workspace environment setup solutions
- Test-shooting sample products
- Tricks and hacks on a shoestring
- Highlighting possible visual strategies
Our day
We start off by socializing with other solopreneurs, introduce our products and absorb a quick overview on photographic workflow theory. With our own camera or smartphone in hand, we then summarize some basic aspects in form of simple exercises. We explore different setup possibilities, lighting variations and the idea of a professional workflow.
From a small, explanatory setup we move to larger sets that resemble various low-budget workspace setups. The Loft offers some typical home and atelier environments with available and artificial light so you can test-run your own products here.
We will finish off the day by reviewing the images and laying out plans for you to continue in your own workspaces.

Our day
We start off by looking at your products and their specific visual marketing requirements. In a theoretical part you will catch up on the photographic workflow and techniques. With your own camera or smartphone in hand, we summarize and practice what we have just learned. Assessing different setup possibilities and lighting possibilities, we will then start customizing these towards your own webshop requirements.
From a small, explanatory setup we move to a set resembling your workspace and set various lights and light formers to find the best approach for you to proceed your customized product shoot, ending with usable first results for your shop.
Reviewing the images, we will develop a plan for you to continue in your own workspace, including a custom tailored equipment recommendation based on your specific budget.
Start: 11.00am, duration: Ca 7hrs

What to expect
Fun
Learning is fun! Especially within a community of creative minds. So let's make this a fun day and an extraordinary one, too! As much as this is a course, we regard it as an event that you will keep in your memory.
Individualism
We learn as a group but we tend to each individual in a one-on-one fashion. This is why our courses are restricted to 7 people max. So we can make sure that we learn from each others challenges as much as from our own.
Relevance
Our teaching is practical, hands-on and delivered in comprehensible packages that built upon one another. Every attendant walks home with a PDF summary booklet as a refresher and to keep the course content fresh and accessible in future.
