Again I am trying something new. I am helping out a relative by taking some product photography shots. These are some of the ones I took.
I have two favourite shots: the rose soap and the oatmeal lavender on wood. Do any of these catch your eye? I would like to know. It may help me improve.

Two favorites :
Oatmeal lavender on wood
2nd rose soap
Eucalyptus lemon is nice too
Did you try rose on wood?
Without the labeling, the soap in last three shots can be mistaken for cheese!
The little tub helps ID as soap
Happy summer!

Trying to use different objects around it. I may be trying rose on wood soon. Thanks for your suggestions.

These are stunning!! ❤ Having done a bit of product photography myself, I love your own photography style and that you've included the natural ingredients of each of the soaps in the shot.

Thanks! I’m trying to be different, but at the same time blurring other objects like I see in many product photos I am trying to incorporate. Some of the ingredients are not locally available so Etsy is a resource.

Your presentations are lovely here and would look great for selling the soap at a store. Yet I’d love to see the soap up close to see the grain and ingredients in the soap, with the soap surrounded by the ingredients, vs having the surface and the space around it as distractions. Just me, though. Other opinions may vary!*)

They look good although maybe the lavender could be, if possible, more in focus as the roses are.

Trying different effects. Different advertising pictures out there only have the product (soap in this case) in focus and other objects in the picture blurred. So I don’t know what would be right or wrong here.

I like the second rose photo: nice contrast and not too busy an image.

Beautiful work. Elegant and and… in a couple instances… appearing quite delicious.

I loved all of them but the one with the roses as well as the first one with the lemons really caught my eye.

Thanks for your input. I am partial to roses and lavender. I think it is the scent more so.

I like all the photos, my favorites are the lavender (bigger bunch) and the one with lemons, the appeal to my senses but all the photos look great.

I think the ones I am partial to may have to do with the fact I am partial to the scents.

I like the first and second photos. Not that the others are bad. 😄 The miniature tub helps reinforce the product is soap (given the square edges). Try blurring the background with a depth of field change.

I think the red roses contrast the best with the black and white backgrounds. Thanks for the input!

I like them all and think that showing the soap with the plant responsible for its scent is a great idea. There is an instantaneous recognition and association.
LikeLike
Thanks! I wanted to include the plant when I could. It helps identify it more readily or associate it like you say with the soap ingredients. I am actually going around and trying to find these plants locally and ones you would think you could buy you have to look far and wide for. Some I am ordering online. Lack of availability may be blamed on Covid like everything else.

All the photos look appealing to me., Sharon! 🙂 I like the visual suggestion that the soap is made from pure and natural ingredients.

That is what I was going for. You don’t always know what’s in them by looking at the soap itself.
