Simple Done Well

Last week we did a flash back re-release of episode 4 featuring Tony Baker. That was for good reason, because Tony has been on my mind a lot recently. As I’ve been preparing for the product photography class I’ll be teaching at Art Center College of Design this semester, I’ve been thinking a lot about the nature of product photography as a discipline within photography at large. What informs the way a product photographer approaches their subject. I’ve been thinking about it’s value in creating skilled tradespeople, because that’s what we product photographers are. Good product photography is the direct result of the countless hours of photographing products, developing skills that we can bring to bear on any future assignment.
