Most commercial photographers create product photography inside of a studio designed for it. DC product photography studios offer full control over the shooting environment. That means your light sources are controllable, as with flash units, lights on stands, and curtains for natural light. You'll also need workstations for arranging items, setting up your camera, and any styling that you need to do.
Food photography is a genre of product photography that requires a spacious studio. You'll not only need a styling area to keep items looking crisp but also a kitchen for preparation and a collection of props like dishes, vases, cutting boards, and more. For automotive or power tool product photography, you'll need a warehouse, loft, or other venue with a loading bay for heavy equipment. Large backdrops, powerful lights, lifts, and other amenities may also be included with your rental.
If you want to provide most of the amenities yourself, consider booking a loft or creative studio for product photography. These spaces are affordable and offer flexible rental terms; typically by the hour or two-hour window. Lofts are intimate spaces but if you're working alone they are cost effective and enable you to create stunning product images.
