What are the best times for product photography?

The best times for product photography are during the golden hour, which is shortly after sunrise and before sunset. The soft, warm light enhances the product's features.

What if I can't shoot during those times?

If you can't shoot during the golden hour, consider using diffused artificial lighting or shooting in a well-lit area with natural light. Avoid harsh midday sun.

How can I create a similar effect indoors?

To replicate golden hour indoors, use softbox lights or reflectors to diffuse light. Position your product near a window for natural light.

Are there specific weather conditions that are better for outdoor shoots?

Yes, overcast days are great for outdoor shoots as the clouds act as a natural diffuser, providing even lighting without harsh shadows.

What about using backlighting for my products?

Backlighting can create a stunning effect, especially for translucent products. Just ensure to balance it with some fill light to avoid losing details.
