How I make MONEY with MACRO (Lighting tutorial for macro and product photography)

In this week's video I show how I use macro techniques like focus stacking and flash lighting to create commercial-standard product photos that could be sold to clients for actual money. I show how I photograph this product setup, including the settings and composition and how I use Lightroom, Photoshop and Helicon Focus to create my final image.

It's amazing how many techniques from my macro photography I use in my product photography and it's my macro work that has brought in the most commercial clients for me, allowing me to earn money from the same macro skills I've shown on this channel.

And even if you don't care about doing product photography, taking photos of any new shiny gadgets you've got at home is still an amazing way of sharpening up your focus stacking techniques, or learning more about how to control your lighting. And you can then take those skills out into the world to photograph your preferred subjects.

In studio I was using two Godox AD600 Pro lights, with one Godox AD200 Pro flash, controlled by the Godox X-Pro C controller on my Canon R5.
