I recently got my hands on a Savage Luminous Pro LED Video Light and decided to toss it on my camera for a photoshoot. This new LED light has a couple really neat features, and while obviously working wonders for illuminating video, I decided to try it out as a continuous light source for a few quick lifestyle looks for a client.
From small eCommerce shoots to large ones, your job is to make the client happy. When you have a creative director that knows what they want, this journey will be a piece of cake. Though don’t be afraid to suggest new lighting setups they haven’t thought of or different views of the product that will show the end customer more of the merchandise. You’re on the same team, and the end goal is to create great images that show the product for what they really are.
