Do I need to use flashes or strobe lights for product photography? No, strobes or flashes are not required for product photography, continuous lights work well and are actually better than strobes for most tabletop photography. Portrait photographers often use strobes or flashes because the the subject is moving and the short duration of a flash is needed to eliminate blur caused by motion. Product photography typically involves stationary objects that are not moving so the ability of a strobe to freeze motion is not required.No. The PHOTOtool takes NO fees from any transaction.
