As I said before,

you can use any camera from your smartphone to a Hasselblad medium format camera.

But it doesn't necessarily matter what you're using

if you're shooting the backyard environments with natural light.

If you have just the technique and some of the right equipment,

you can make images that could end up in a magazine.

Today, I'll probably take some shots with

my iPhone just to demonstrate

an end product that is achievable for everybody who has a smartphone,

not just people who have larger cameras.

I will also use my Sony A7R II,

it's a mirrorless camera that's my usual kit,

or a Sony A6000 which is AM crop sensored version essentially,

and a series of probably just prime lenses.

My go-to lenses are wide Rokinon prime lens, Sony prime lenses,

Sony Zeiss 55 1.8, and occasionally,

the Sony 70-200 telephoto lens.

But for this sort of environment, really,

a wide to medium zoom prime lens or a mid range zoom,

it could even be a kit lens that comes on

my camera kit whether you bought it online or at a camera store.

Any of these things are things that you

can use to create the sort of images that we'll be doing.

The beauty of this project, this course,

is that you don't need a whole lot like I said.

But to come prepared with a few items,

anything that you might have lying around your house,

or your friends might have lying around,

it certainly helps to aid you in producing images that are useful.

Some of the products or objects that I've brought here today are a hammock,

a number of clothing items, some tote bags,

backpacks, wallets, accessories that people can

use that sort of enforce an activity that is related to the feeling,

or the vibe, or the culture, or the setting,

or whatever it is that you're trying to sell, your trying to commodify.

So, these are products that somebody might use at a pool.

Maybe it's a nice towel,

maybe it's a pair of colorful sunglasses that represents summary fashion,

or a food item that might be useful in selling food-related stock imagery.

That could be a kebab,

or some colorful peppers, or some dips,

a platter, or an entire tablescape full of different colored things.

Maybe it's a really rustic table, wood table.

Maybe you have an Italian granite table with a beautiful design on it.

Anything that kind of pops out,

those are the things that I feel are generally the most popular among buyers.

So today, we will be using a combination of our environment,

what we have available to us here at this house,

and some of the products that I brought with me as I mentioned before.

These are just examples of things that you can grab from your house,

from your friends to use on your project.
