Placing a product into a real outdoor photograph seems simple until the light in the sky changes between the background shot and the product shot. This tutorial walks through how to solve a product photomontage under variable natural light, from reading the background to the final review, so that shadows, color and contrast tell the…
A badly handled reflection gives a product photo away: the studio window printed on a faucet, a broken gradient on a wine glass, or a glass edge that vanishes against the background.
