Course Curriculum

From the studio setup to shooting techniques through to post-production, learn everything you need to create stunning, professional-quality product photos.

During the course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of lighting theory. You’ll then learn how to create a budget DIY rig to light your subject and how to work around the limitations of your smartphone. Alex, the instructor, will take you through various product-specific lessons and how to shoot with a variety of styles and compositions, ending the course with post-production techniques using an iPad and Photogene 4.

THREE BONUS MODULES: Alex shows you how to shoot a slow-motion ‘splash’ video using a wine glass and colored water.

Lighting Theory

You’ll learn the basics of lighting theory as it relates to iPhone photography. Once you understand light, you’ll be able to modify your DIY rig and get the right lighting for your products.

Building Your DIY Studio

Alex shows you how to build the simplest DIY studio for iPhone product photography. This includes a painted shooting container (for a white background), reflectors (to shape the light), and a few ways to mount the iPhone without a tripod.

Overcoming Your iPhone’s Limitations

Smartphones have obvious limitations for photography. This lesson identifies these and shows you how to work around them by using the 645 PRO Mk III iPhone application to manually control the exposure, focus, white balance, shutter release, and more.

SHOOTING- PRACTICAL PRACTICE

The Basic Setup

The fun begins! It’s time to apply what you’ve learned so far. You’ll learn how to set up your studio and begin taking product shots of small items – in this case, a pen.

Capturing Small Details

Next, you’ll learn how to get the focus and exposure right for tiny details (in this case, fine gems on a piece of jewellery). Alex will explain why you should never use your smartphone’s zoom, and how to expose for light and dark areas within an image.

Shooting Textured Subjects

This time, you’ll learn how to shoot a product with texture – and how to adapt the lighting to fit. Alex is shooting a textured necklace on a red background.

The Top-down Shot

Learn how to get the classic ‘top-down’ shot with a minimal white background, shooting a pen and leather pouch.

Shooting Glossy Subjects

Glossy subjects can pose some lighting challenges. Learn how to do it perfectly, shooting this watch on a minimal white background.

Introducing Different Angles

Continuing with the top-down approach, we’ll start to introduce different angles to best capture your subject using lipstick and cosmetic powder on a black background as an example.

The Side Shot

Learn the simple yet classic side shot. Alex will be using hair care products on a white background for this one.

Introducing Creative Composition

In this lesson, you’ll go beyond what you’ve already learned. Alex will show you how to create dynamic compositions to make your products truly shine. He’ll be using various props and textures to get the perfect shot of these starfish necklaces.

Creative Composition (continued)

You’ll learn even more composition skills to take your product photography to the next level. Alex will be shooting a wine bottle with a filled glass and artificial grapes to add context and an element of creativity to his shots.

POST-PRODUCTION

Setting up

You’ll get an intro to the ideal post-production workflow to make your iPhone photos stand out. Alex will be using an iPad and the Photogene 4 app. Using PhotoSync, he transfers his photos from his iPhone and begins working on the first pen that was shot.

Detailed Adjustments

Next, you’ll learn how to make tiny detailed adjustments and retouching. Alex will be cleaning up the gemstones on a horse’s head pendant (as well as digitally replacing a missing stone!).

Complex Backgrounds

You’ll learn how to get the exposure, sharpness and white balance perfect with a complex subject background, using a chain and watch as a case study.

Different Textures

Now you’ll find out how to effectively edit an image with varying textures with this glossy silver bracelet with gemstones.

White Backgrounds (continued)

Here, Alex continues the previous lesson, showing you how to effectively edit a dark-colored wristwatch on a white background.

Black Backgrounds

Learn how to edit a dark subject on a black background for a sharp, professional look using lipstick as Alex’s chosen example.
