#102 Simple Lightbox Product Photography Technique with a Smartphone



Presenting your products for sale is important. In this video, I show you how I use my trusty lightbox to take top-notch photos of wood turned items and other products for use online using just my phone.
Good photos are vitally important for communicating the visual form of products online. A clean background like the one used here ensures that the product is ‘front and centre’ in the shot and there is nothing for the viewers eye to be distracted by – perfect if your photos are going to be used for selling your items.
There are of course, other ways you can take product photos – lifestyle shots are good in certain places like magazines or boutique websites etc, but for the most part, a simple square format is good enough for most selling websites – and social media!
The technique I show here uses a very simple set up using a photography lightbox available from the link below. The video is not sponsored nor endorsed by the manufacturer.

Small Print and Disclaimer: Woodturning can be dangerous. The project in this video is a demonstration of a woodturning project and as such may not be suitable for beginners. It is not intended to replace a physical lesson from an experienced woodturner.
At all times, you are responsible for your own safety, that of your workshop and other people in it. Ensure you wear suitable personal safety equipment at all times and follow all the manufacturers instructions for your tools, machinery and other products you may use.
This is my way of turning this project – Other turners may turn it differently and you may find your own way of reaching the same result.
By copying these techniques, you do so at your own risk.

Thank you for your understanding.
