Learn how to photograph candles beautifully using simple setups, beginner-friendly techniques, and achievable lighting. In this pre-recorded class, I guide you step-by-step through creating four unique candle product photo looks, while explaining lighting, composition and styling.
You’ll then learn simple composition techniques to instantly elevate your images, including using foreground, midground, and background elements, working with minimal styling versus layered props, and positioning your candle using the rule of thirds. We also explore perspective choices such as bird’s-eye view, frontal angles, and lower angles to create a sense of importance and presence, along with framing techniques using props to add depth and interest.
This class is perfect for beginners wanting to create polished, professional-looking candle product photos using simple tools and thoughtful styling.
Items needed:
- camera and lens (50mm-85mm is a great range) or phone camera will do the trick.
- candles and props of your choice
- options- sheer curtain and paper roll. A light source- can be a large window or artificial lighting. I used the Godox SLW 60W
