Let’s get started.
- Choose three objects with different textures: glass, fabric, fruit or a favourite mug.
- Place one next to a window with indirect light. Switch off overhead lighting to avoid mixed colours.
- Take three frames: one from above, one at eye level and one close up. Tap your subject to focus on a phone.
- Move a sheet of white paper opposite the window to reflect light into shadows. Compare the result.
- Choose your favourite image. Crop distractions and make small brightness adjustments. Repeat with your other objects.
Start with the camera you own. Good light and a clear composition matter more than new equipment.
