So, I know that to do a proper product photo I need to surround it with diffused lighting, manage reflections, etc. However, since I really haven't found a good spot in the new house to do that I was trying to come up with a way to get a decent photo.
In the past I tried the light boxes and just never fell in love with the look. All one color backgrounds drove me crazy for some reason. Was goofing around on the internet and read about an idea I decided to try.
This photo was taken outside in the early morning before the sun was fully up. That solved most of my diffused lighting needs. For the background I used a $2 piece of wood grained tile. I plan on getting some more woody shades to play with next since I was told this is a bit too stark looking. Camera is a decent Canon T6i and I think I had the little 24mm 2.8 pancake lens on it. On a tripod of course with a bit of a delay to give me time to back away. You can see the reflection of the camera since it's really close. Still, not a terrible photo I don't think.
