Product Shot

When creating a website 'all about the product', well if I'm fitting to my brief, surely there should be a shot of some products i just didn't know whether or not to take shots of the products I've been talking about or to do shots of products that relate to the theme and colour pallet of the blog. My hesitation to use photos of the products I've been talking about is because I don't want it to seem as though I am advertising this. On second thought when including so much detail about a product it seems peculiar to then never show an image of it. I just need to be careful of my product placement and the way I phrase things.


I decided to aim to capture both and see what best fitted my layout. To start with I captured the Revolution Highlight Pallette as I think the colour tones fit well with the rather feminine blush tones of 'Making it up'.

I knew I wanted to capture the inside of the pallet because the outside of the packaging doesn't feature any colour other than gold. The reason I chose this product was for the pastel highlight colours with the pink offset. I used the green roses in the background so it wasn't just a white background that could have been boring or plain. For this same reason I chose to cover the surface with a polka dot blue shear shirt. 

I think this shoot went well although again I'm not sure where to place it in the layout.

For the second shoot I chose to use the bubblegum lush lip scrub that I have based my other editorial images around. Instead of using lots of props for this image i chose to let the product speak for itself in vibrant colour. The background and surface is simply white for this shoot.

As I don't want it to appear as an advert i have spread the product out swell so it will be easier to edit into an appropriate section of my blog without it being distracting. In the end I have chosen to only use the bubblegum lip scrub as the other product isn't relevant and may be confusing if there itnt any information about it.
