Set Design for Product Photography

You will start the course knowing Mariam Palma, who will tell you about her photographic work and her main influences, especially those related to art direction in different creative areas.

You will know the materials and the different techniques DIY (Do It Yourself ) with which you can work to make your set come true. You will see how you can create volumes, shapes, textures and how to modify some objects to communicate what you want.

You will choose the product you want to photograph, either because you like it, because of its shape or because of the concept it has. Mariam will choose a circular portfolio but you can choose another object for the course.

Conceptualize the chosen product and then make the illustrated sketch that will serve as a reference when photographing. In addition, you will propose a palette of colors and types of lighting that help reflect your concept and will dimension the pieces to give you a real size in AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator or do it by hand, any tool that helps you to have the correct measurements of each piece.

You will apply all your creativity to select the necessary materials for your project, and then cut them, paint them and transform them into volumes, shapes and objects, according to your sketch.

Once you have everything ready, you will start working in the photography studio, where you will assemble your set exactly like your sketch, following the advice of Mariam. You will take the photograph, edit it and export it in a professional way ready for printing or to publish on social networks.
