About this course

Designers are increasingly expected to capture and finish product imagery, not just lay it out. This course teaches the lighting, styling, and post-production craft behind professional product shots, using a single-light to three-light approach and a Lightroom Classic plus Photoshop workflow. You finish able to plan a shot list, light reflective and matte surfaces, style flat lays and hero shots, and deliver retouched, correctly-sized files for Shopify, Amazon, and brand decks.
