Have you heard of bounce lighting? Bounce lighting is a super easy, no-budget way of making your product photos look amaaaazing.
- Do your product photos have harsh shadows on one side?
- Are you taking photos next to a sunlit window?
- Is your lighting uneven?
- Does the shadow under your product blend into your product itself?
What bounce lighting can do for your product photos is practically magic.
My bounce card is made from a cardboard box flap and a sheet of tinfoil held on with a few strips of duct tape. Budget: $0.

Thank you for sharing this. I have a Very nice camera, but not much knowledge in using it.
This is a fantastic idea that could be helpful for all types of photography.
