Product Photography. Any Talent?
Are you people joking? Product photography is some of the hardest shooting to do. The only thing more difficult is food. You have no idea unless you've done it (for an ad agency when everything has to be perfect) how tough it is. Models have no shiny surfaces that you have to worry about your reflection being in. Models can stand up on their own and you don't have to devise creative ways to prop them up on the background. You don't just point lights at products, you can't have shadows. You have to have very specific equipment because you can't distort the "box" or whatever it is. There is a reason I shoot models/actors/people in general....it's far more fun that photographing a baked potato and it's a hell of alot easier. Assist one day for a product photographer and you'll appreciate how good you have it!
