Light tent

The combination of evenly distributed lighting and the diffusing material means that minimal shadows are cast, and it can appear as if the pictured product is "floating in nothing", and a neutral image without a disturbing background can be achieved.

[3] A rule of thumb is that the tent should be large enough to have at least 10 cm of clearance on all sides of the object to be photographed.

[3] Alternatively, a 3-point lighting can be used: To achieve a good result, it is recommended that the object should be illuminated by lamps with the same color temperature (expressed in kelvin or K).

[3] Different color temperatures may occur in cases where, for example, lamps with different types of bulbs are used, or if there is a combination of indoor lighting and natural daylight.

For product photography, high f-numbers (small aperture, long depth of field) are most often used, for example 8 to 16.
