You can have a lot of fun shooting small items on a table. This type of photography is called Tabletop Photography.

This is a lighting diagram if you are trying to do a product on a white background.

My friend Susan Hawkins came to me to photograph some of her products and wanted to change the backgrounds. She had a great idea I want to pass along to you.

She went to the store and bought different wrapping paper we used as a background.

If you want to have fun shooting today and it is raining, find a table and create something with what you have around the house. Look for the leftover Christmas or birthday wrapping paper for possible backgrounds.

The wrapping paper helps to create a mood for your product.
