Does anybody have affordable lighting you recommend for product photography? I’m tired of being at the whim of the sun! This set took a lot of work (7 dozen!) and I wish I’d gotten better pictures.

Maybe try getting a lightbox. I have one from Amazon, it cost about $60 back when I purchased it but there are a lot of options. I loved it bc pictures looked the same no matter at what time of day I took the picture. [Here’s ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6vYDvtDJD/?igsh=MXR2dGJhczlnenkweg==) a picture taken with s lightbox. I stopped using it after getting a better window/day light to take pics and got tired of setting it up every time since I don’t have the space to leave it open. But also, maybe a better editing app can help? I adjusted your pic real quick in the app i use (Snapseed) and it looks a bit better. And yours doesn’t look bad to begin with, it just looked a bit too yellow in my opinion. [edited pic](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rSTHNlkaPLQCRFbhczi9Yy8-BosHz0z3/view?usp=drivesdk)

I use the Canva light when I can’t use the sun. I edit with Lightroom that helps a lot!

[I use these](https://a.co/d/dVwSble) for makeup, shooting video, and photos. They’re cheap, and I’ll upgrade later, but we needed two sets (husband and I both stream) so we went with a cheap option for now!

My husband used to take professional pictures, he used some sort of silver metallic umbrella along with his flash. He also had a white drape sheet.

Hi! I always use the Lightroom app to polish my photo without altering the colour. It really works making your picture look brighter!

This is similar to the [light](https://www.amazon.com/CB200-Daylight-Continuous-Lighting-Photography/dp/B0D1GHS5J1?pd_rd_w=OhOK5&content-id=amzn1.sym.62be105c-6487-4e60-b5e1-f41685fe2620&pf_rd_p=62be105c-6487-4e60-b5e1-f41685fe2620&pf_rd_r=FVSA81SF6G8CJ6DQNJPE&pd_rd_wg=eROe2&pd_rd_r=3889ace7-e762-4db8-9bd2-6bbfab5eda0d&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_oos_ec_t&th=1) I use with a 45” umbrella diffuser (my model was discontinued). I usually set up two replica surfaces and then put a piece of white foam core on one side and the light on the other side. Then move it around depending on what I’m shooting. If you want even cheaper this was the first [light](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DFP6M4?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_44&th=1) I used. It’s not nearly as bright as the first one but if you use Lightroom you can still bring the exposure up and the photos come out great.
