In fact, I have a blog which is dedicated 100% towards 360 product photography. I'm open about my process and how I do everything. The one I made though is more suited for light products, like shoes and backpacks and such, but maybe parts of the design could help you out with building your own rig? Here are a few shots:įor post processing I make Actions in Photoshop which automate almost 100% of the editing. Since then I've used it pretty heavily for my photography studio. If you are ready for that, go for it.Ībout 3 years ago I made a DIY automated 360 turntable with the help of a few friends. Be prepared for a massive amount of learning. For someone without much studio background, you will have to learn that also.

IMO, getting professional results will not be easy. My background wasn't as uniform as I wanted so I had to Photoshop it also. I had to Photoshop out the struts holding the object out of 36 frames. And they need to rotate exactly around the objects center. Not every object will rest on it's own on the turntable. If you buy the hardware you will be way ahead of me.Īfter that, the biggest challenge was holding the objects. It was a lot of work and very challenging. I also made a huge rotating arm so I could rotate the camera up and down on the third dimension. I made my own turntable using a lazy-susan turntable and plywood. I did some 360 virtual reality on a shoestring budget about 5 years ago.

A virtual reality image that is well done can help me fully appreciate a product. What is the general view? Are there many of you who have experience using 360 systems or do people know of any alternatives I can suggest to my boss'? However from a photographers point of view I will feel like a factory worker.

I can understand why I've had negative responses, in a way I feel like I'm fighting for my position! Is it me or the turntable? However it surely has it's pros, especially from a buyers point of view, and as the company are wholesalers selling to retailers up and down the country then it helps for to see the product in it's entirety. The company I currently work for are contemplating investing in a 360 Degree system for their on-line sales, on a sales point of view I can see how it can aid our sales however as a photographer it's not exactly challenging. However from the responses I gather the general census towards 360 degree photography is not a good one. Yesterday I posted a question about the lighting equipment for 360 degree turntables.
