-
Always in demand, become a high paying Industrial Product
Photographer.
I'll show you what equipment you'll need, how to setup to get the shot,
the Photoshop work and how to market yourself.
It's Always In Demand, Make Money Shooting Industrial Product
Photography. If you want to start
making great money as a professional photographer, then Industrial
Product Photography is the
way to go. It's lucrative, consistant and always in demand, making
money as a photographer
has never paid more.
I truly believe there is no larger market for a photographer to be in
then the industrial product
photography field. Consider all of the industrial parks in your city
with large to medium sized
companies. Many of these companies are developing and assembling new
products everyday.
All of this equipment needs to be shot for brochures, slicks, catalogs,
web sites and tradeshow
exhibits. You also won t need the largest megapixel camera or tons of
lighting equipment to get
into the field. I know that it may not seem as glamorous as shooting
models in bikinis. But those
jobs are hard to find on a consistent basis and most companies that
need product photography
need it consistently. Products are always being designed, built,
redesigned and rebuilt on a regular basis. They need to be shot and
reshot and they'll call
you back everytime. The best part about being a product photographer is
that they will also pay you and pay you well year after year.
If you have no idea how to light and shoot industrial products then
this book is for you. I've been shooting industrial products since
1985, from film to digital. Over 90% of my shoots are on location, so
I'll show you my equipment. How to set it up, light it and do the
Photoshop work. From production to marketing, this 75 page book has
over 130 photos, drawings and screen captures to help turn you into a
product photography shooting pro.
"Sure, I've shot a lot of commercial photography over the years. Lots
of wrestlers like Hogan and Savage and many models for calendars and
catalogs. But nothing has consistantly paid the bills like Industrial
Product Photography, yes, you can make money with photography."

Ten product photography shoots from beginning to end, covering the
shoot, lighting, setup and all the
Photoshop work.
Shooting and combining eight separate images in Photoshop to create one
of the most perfectly lit
images that you'll ever see.
Even if you have a low megabyte camera, you'll be able to shoot images
that are two to three times
larger then you normally can. After shooting with a 4 x 5 film camera
for 20 years, my first digital
camera was a Canon 6 mp Digital Rebel and I did some of my best work
with it.

Q. Don't I need a lot of expensive equipment to get into this busness?
A. No, you can easily start off with a Canon Digital Rebel or a Nikon
D60. You can buy used strobes,
light stands and light modifyers cheaply on Ebay or Amazon.
Q. Do I need Photoshop?
A. I didn't have Photoshop for the first 10 years of my career. But
life has been a lot easier and much more productive with it.
Q. How do I start out marketing myself?
A. This is covered in the book. How to put together your first
portfolio, your website and also marketing yourself.

A. We'll go over how much to charge and how to talk to your client.
What you should say and more importantly
what not to say.
Q. Don't I need a studio to do this type of work?
A. No, not at all. Except for shooting some small products in the
studio, all of my shoots are on location.
Your customers will want you to come to their location to shoot their
products. Many times these products
are large and there's no way to transport them to a studio.

Your web site and it's importance.

Always In Demand, Make Money Shooting Industrial Product
Photography

Every business needs to promote itself visually and there are vast
numbers of small businesses in need of services to take quality images.
Companies are realising that it is not as easy as it looks to shoot
quality digital images on a plain background and skills are needed to
do this. This is where someone who can take this type of shot can make
good money.
By taking a little time and marketing skill you can find many
businesses who don't have large marketing budgets and are in need of
the services of a good photographer. Here's what you need to do.
1. Research
Do a search on local businesses from directories and the yellow pages
in your area. Do a search for particular kinds of local businesses on
the internet and look at the quality of their images. Most times they
have been taken by the owner or staff and don't reflect the quality of
the product. Create a list of potential businesses to work from and get
to know the products of each of them so that when you arrive at the
store you will know what you are talking about.
2. Create a portfolio
By creating a simple portfolio of your work you will be able to
demonstrate to the owner what you can deliver. We are visual people and
the first impression created by a good portfolio will often open the
door to some profitable business. If you have the time, shoot a few
similar products in your studio to show what a particular item will
look like so that the potential client has a better idea of how good it
could look. You only have one chance to create a good first impression.
This works especially well with estate agents and property realtors.
Often you can tell the standard of their photo taking by looking in
their window. If you deliver outstanding images that really showcase
homes you'll standing a good chance of getting some business.
3. Equipment
Good product photographers need a simple inexpensive setup to create
good images. An essential item is a good light table coupled with a
light tent and two good lights. Besides this a macro lens or extension
tubes to get close up for smaller items is a valuable asset to your
gear. An overhead light box or a ring flash will make it just that bit
more simple to get your lighting right. On that topic, good lighting is
essential to great product shots.
4. Creativity
Try to be more creative and come from a unique angle. Make sure your
background complements the object and helps to showcase it. Bottom line
is that your images should help the business owner to sell more of his
product. If that happens you can be assured of more work and referrals.
Don't try to be too smart but rather focus on a simplistic, less is
more approach that makes the product stand out clearly. Use props to
complement the product without competing for attention.
You will always find work as a product photographer if you are prepared
to look for it. Even if it is not a huge amount of work it can
supplement your other areas of photography and bring in a tidy income.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
