 * Types of Photos || Still-Life since they photograph products, which typically don’t move unless they are robotic moving parts that need photographing, but then they typically have what they are taking a picture of in a still position. ||
 * Work Style || Realistic, appealing to the eye, brightly lit, showing specific details, in focus, could count as glamour shots of a product. They want to display the item and make it look desirable to those who want/ need the product. ||
 * Salaries || For product photography it really depends on the company, the product, and the level of professionalism. Depending on the quality of the photo and the company, professional photos can be sold from about $10-$50 per photo. Sometimes companies will say they want X amount of photos and they will pay you a set price for the whole series. ||
 * Schooling || Schooling isn’t a necessity for a photographer, however it is recommended so that the photographer can learn more techniques and learn their way around their camera better. They need to know how to focus on the camera, and know how to get certain aspects of their product to stand out (if that's what the company wants) ||
 * Environment || The type of environment varies from product to product. If a person is shooting photos for a car, they will be out in a garage or on the road. If a person is shooting for glassware or crystal they then will be working in a studio or in a commonly provided space if they do not want their product to be leaving the vicinity. ||

 * My Plan || <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline;">I plan on using the crystal around my house and photographing it like I would be selling them (which I am not). To add a certain artistic quality I am photographing my crystal with smoke (provided by a friend). I think by doing this it adds a certain interest into the photos and also more beauty to the photos than what is already there. I plan on having a solid (or nearly solid) background and then the crystal and smoke will be lit up by flash and a my phone's flashlight. ||
