Photography Tutorial about Lighting Techniques for Product Photography With Shiny Metal. We look at how to light shiny metal in a product still life. This is difficult because we have shiny metal that needs its own attention. But we also have a still life that needs shape and dimension and needs to look wonderful in and of itself. Take a look and let us know what you think. #ProductPhotography #Lighting #ShinyMetal
