The demand for product work from new clients has dropped a bit in last few months compared to last year, as I think lots of new photographers are saturating the market for online work. Which is way tutorials and courses like yours will likely up level the quality of an online portfolio, which I hope to get better clients and stop competing on price but on talent and creative imaging with props, backdrops etc. Currently sourcing some props online myself, but I may have to look at your course to learn all the secrets to really stand out in the industry and get brand accounts and lots of repeat clients. Thanks for a great tutorial.
As a photographer I’m always thinking ‘could that be a prop’ while out shopping. I’ve sourced props everywhere from Target to the local discount stores
Evelyn.. although I am not currently working as a photographer...but I did take it in HS for a year ...it's always something that I've took interest in in general ....my mind works in circles a lot and my cylinders start spinning every time I go into a goodwill or thrift store even a garage sale ....Iam always thinking in my head what if I used this or could I ...in time I will be launching alongside my mother a line body,skin and hair care products and I was planning on doing my own photoshoots since I've already have the basic knowledge of photo propping and staging etc .....my fear is my studio is going to be filled with bins and bins of photo props lol.....goodwill and other second hand stores are great sources!
@@kendrabonds6901 yes, that’s the biggest problem. I myself have a few large crates/tote bins that have props and other photo accessories in. I try to find multipurpose items, so they don’t only get used a handful of times then stay in storage
Hey Susanne! I have yes 😊 As I’ve only released my course for photographers in the past 6 months this is currently my number one focus but perhaps in the future I may release one for small businesses.
Wooden blocks, stop ordering! Find you a local Lumber & Millwork companies in your area. They can cut, sand it smooth, put a design on them, and probably can paint them. You are then helping local companies. Custom millwork is dying out.
Hi Amanda, I love your videos! Thank you so much for such wonderful information. Can you show us how to do ghost mannequin winter hat photography. Thank you.
Totally depends on what you’re shooting And whether you’re ordering custom sizes. I worked out some measurements that suited both standard skincare and beauty products but there are heaps of sizes i still want to add. My best advice is to grab a tape measure and the type of product you usually shoot and work out what will be best 😊
When I’m older I want to start a phone case business and when I take the photos I want the cases to stand so do you know what I should use to hold it up?
Good camera definitely helps! But your creativity is I think the most important thing when it comes to using your props 😊 I could make a whole separate video about cameras haha
@@amandacampeanu If you don't have camera, you cant take quality photos. For example I have just my phone. There is no chance that I will have photos like yours. so 1. Camera. and tehn you can play around with light and props.
@@sinchasin3611 this is definitely true! This video was only covering props which is why I didn’t talk about cameras. A good camera definitely makes a difference to the quality of the image but your creativity and styling also makes a huge difference as well to the results of the final photo. 😊
Good lighting is far more important than a good camera. Great lighting on a mediocre camera will always look 1000x better than terrible lighting on a good camera.

You're so freaking pretty! 😍 And your work is awesome! Very helpful 👌🏻
really enjoyed this video of yours keep it up! :)
Even I've seen the insane amounts of questions regarding the blocks in the comments😭
Every day haha. It just takes some serious digging to find them
Amanda have you created a course or guide for small businesses that need to take better shots for social media?
Hey Susanne! I have yes 😊 As I’ve only released my course for photographers in the past 6 months this is currently my number one focus but perhaps in the future I may release one for small businesses.
which camera you use for this videoshoot?
This was taken on my canon 6D Mark II 😊
Such great tips! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥︎

I can relate. I took hours in Shopee to find the cute and proper photoprops. Hehe
Yess! Takes so much time to prop source.

do you buy your client’s product or do your client send it to you to photograph?
The client always sends me products. You should never have to pay to shoot product work you’re being paid to do.
@@amandacampeanu oh alright thank you! but how do your clients sens you the product?

You seem to be an expert ay branding. Can we hire you on guiding us to create a brand?
can you suggest good props for jewelry?
For jewellery pedestals and blocks are great props to showcase the jewellery on!
Ur a gem 💎😍

Glue tabs. She uses that for makeup products too.

I would suggest you check out fast hair growth fortified shampoo to double hair growth.
Great stuff while I'm dead sure she's a vampire.
I sort of like your wolfy teeth.
