14. Product Photography Lighting
NIKON D4 ISO 100 1/250 SEC. F/4.5
Nikon Speedlights work really well when photographing products. They provide plenty of power, have a small footprint, are easily triggered off-camera, and have plenty of light modifiers to shape their light. All these factors make them ideally suited for photographing products of all sizes. I find it easier to set up a small product shoot with a couple of Speedlights than to set up studio strobes—and I get the same results. This chapter covers the basics of setting up and shooting products using small flashes.
