__** Product Photography: **__


=The three photos I chose represent product photography. I thought that this type of photography would be interesting to research and try out because the photography is different from what I'm use to and I can really focus on photography of still life photos. Although a product photography is a mid-career and only makes about $30,000-40,000 a year, the photographers really focus on realistic photos to satisfy their clients. I think it would be cool to focus on realistic photos because I can use little details like principles and elements to emphasize the advertising of the product. I thought that it was interesting that to become a product photographer, you need a college degree and to have taken some short courses to start off the career. Product photographers also are a middle class and work at corporations or studios. If I were to do this career in the future, I think it would be a pleasant job. All jobs have their ups and downs, but it would be cool to use photography and edit photos for a job that can pay an okay amount. It could become stressful and time consuming, but the job can help satisfy clients needs. For this assignment I plan to take an object that I like, like a speaker and enhance the elements and principles to make a more interesting photo. I want to photograph a lot of close ups to really present the product. I might also add background effects to emphasize the awesomeness of the product. I plan to put up white sheets and mess around with the different lighting I have to make the photo have more meaning to it. The white sheets will also help the viewer focus on the product.=
