Best Gear For Product Photography | Where To Invest?

Product photographers love gear. It’s no wonder given the shear volume of stuff that we can easily accumulate. But where should you be spending your money? Photography equipment can be extremely expensive so it’s important to spend your money wisely and invest in the right places.

In this video, I wanted to cover where I think the best place for still life photographers to spend their money is. What gear will have the biggest impact to the quality of your photos? Is it camera’s, lenses, lighting, or something else?
