Select the Right Location: Find a spot outdoors with ample
natural light, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent harsh
shadows. Shaded areas or overcast days provide soft,
diffused light.
Position Your Setup: Place your product on a clean surface,
like a table or flat rock. Ensure it's stable and won't be
affected by wind.
Adjust for Exposure: Use your smartphone settings to
adjust exposure if necessary. You might need to increase or
decrease brightness to get the perfect shot.
Utilize Reflectors (Optional): If there are shadows you'd like
to fill, you can use a white foam board or reflector to bounce
light back onto your product.
