Use a Tripod

Product shots are one of those things that if they’re not absolutely tack sharp, they just don’t work, and that’s why the pros use a tripod every time. Having that super-sharp focus is critical and, although I will hand-hold when shooting people (if I’m using studio strobes or flash to freeze any movement), when it comes to product shots, my camera goes right on a tripod and stays there. If you’re looking for a way to take your product shots to the next level, this is absolutely the first step.
