You do not need a full studio setup to create bright, professional looking product photos at home. One of the simplest and most reliable tricks is to use natural window light with a basic white foam board as a reflector. This combination gives you clean light and even shadows without spending any extra money.

Place your product near a bright window where the light is soft and gentle. If the sun is too strong, tape baking paper to the glass to diffuse it. This instantly softens the light and stops harsh shadows from forming. On the opposite side of your product, position a white foam board from a discount store. The board bounces light back onto your product, reducing shadows and giving everything a clean, polished finish.

If you want to take it one step further, place another white board under your product to create a seamless surface. This setup works for skincare, candles, accessories, ceramics and almost any handmade item. Clean natural light is the secret to making small businesses look high end.

This trick is fast, affordable and incredibly reliable. Once you try it, you will never go back to shooting under harsh ceiling lights again.
