Karl Taylor – High–end Cosmetics Product Photography

In this product photography class, Karl creates a powerful, dramatic advertising image of a pair of lipsticks. In doing so, he demonstrates how to photograph small products, what impact background choice can have on the final shot, and how to create beautiful gradient lighting for products with metallic textures.
Shooting small objects such as this requires precision and patience. As Karl builds his shot up light-by-light, you'll see how even the smallest changes can have a big impact.
