About this event

"90% of online buyers say that photo quality is the most crucial factor in an online sale, according to Etsy and Justuno."

Are you struggling to get great shots of your products at home? (if so, not to worry - you're not alone)

Come join this BETA pop-up beginner product photography workshop for makers and creators hosted by Kayleigh from Wild Kind Photography.

Christmas is coming so this is the PERFECT workshop to learn how to style and take amazing photos of your products in time to get that holiday marketing out to the masses, while networking with other local makers!

What's included:

  • introduction to product photography tutorial

  • product styling and setup demo

  • gear and 'hack' guide

  • time to style and photograph your own products with a few Christmas-themed props

  • feedback and tips on shooting + a couple photos by Kayleigh

  • tea on arrival

We'll be chatting all things product photography so that you have the flexibility to go home and do it yourself. Walk away with a better understanding of:

  • lighting

  • set-up

  • settings

  • composition

  • consistency

  • focus

  • props

  • hacks and tricks

  • stop motion

FAQs:

  • Do I need a camera? No, you can bring your phone. I can touch on camera settings if you bring yours but this is more about the set-up and styling of your products rather than the technical aspects of camera settings.

  • Do I have to know anything about photography? Nope! Just how to click the shutter!

  • Can I bring some of my own products? Please DO! You'll have a chance to style your own setup based on what you've learned; and have access to me to ask questions as you go.

What should I bring?

  • Charged camera or phone + extra batteries or power bank (no sockets in workshop space)

  • 1-5 of your products to style

  • A few props you like to use

  • Questions

About Kayleigh:

Kayleigh is an American photographer and plant-based enthusiast who moved to the northwest of England for love in 2019. She's travelled the world since 2009 and along the way photographed mountains, deserts, elopements, products, families, boudoir sessions - you name it!

Since moving to the NW UK, she's established herself as a local branding photographer who helps passionate, eco-friendly entrepreneurs and makers tell their story and boost their confidence, visibility, and growth with personality-packed images.

During the lockdowns, Kayleigh took a deep dive into product photography, with makers sending products to her home studio to photograph. She learned LOADS along the way and can't wait to share those lessons, tips, and tools with you!
