When I first started doing product photography, on-site shoots stressed me out because I never trusted myself to remember everything I needed. And honestly, I had good reason not to. 😂 There’s nothing worse than having a great idea mid-shoot and realizing you’re missing that one little thing you need to make it happen.

So naturally, I started shopping for a travel setup. But after seeing how quickly the costs added up, I thought, there’s gotta be a cheaper way to do this.

And there was! After a lot of research and comparing options, I put together my own setup using the Apache 5800, A-MoDe padded inserts, and an inexpensive Amazon lid organizer. I’m sharing the details so you can skip the research rabbit hole and save yourself some money, too

We all start somewhere, and trust me… I made plenty of mistakes when I first wanted to get into food and product photography. The good news? You don’t have to make the same ones because I’m going to share what i’ve learned 😉

Less is more.
You don’t need an expensive camera or a studio full of equipment to create great product photos. Learn to get the most out of what you already have.

Experiment constantly.
Some of your biggest breakthroughs will come from trying something that doesn’t work. Every shoot teaches you something.

Practice. Practice. Practice.
The best way to improve isn’t buying more gear. It’s picking up your camera and shooting consistently.

Learn light before you buy gear.
Understanding natural and artificial light will improve your photos far more than the latest lens or accessory.

Focus on ONE skill at a time.
Master composition. Then lighting. Then styling. Then editing. Small improvements stack up faster than trying to learn everything at once.

Every great photographer started as a beginner. Keep creating, keep learning, and above all..DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY. It doesn’t make you any less of a photographer.

I thought with a minimal setup i wouldnt be able to product anything close to what i was going for but boy was I wrong! These shots turned out WAY better than i anticipated and it was just the motivation i needed to continue.

If anyone in the Richmond area is looking for a great place to chill and grab a drink check out Three Crosses Distilling in Powhatan!

I decided to use my personal favorite bottle of Three Crossed Apple Spiced Rum as a subject for this practice shoot.

If your a local richmond (or surrounding area) business looking for some cinematic food or product photography send me a direct message! Id love to work together 💛
