I have need to create some white catalogue images of some products as my supplier is not forthcoming with the images.

I have some already for one of our product ranges but not the other and I want these to look the same.

Is it possible to do this cheaply and easily?

I have an old SLR (canon EOS 450) and G11 at my disposal, can get use of some image software (will find out what later but I assume its Adobe).

Would it be easier for me to do it or how much would it cost for me to hire a professional?

I need 8 pictures thats all.

Lighting, background and Photoshop to taste - one of mine:



I have a small studio for this so if you get stuck send 'em over.

Exactly what Im looking for.

Do you know of any idiot proof guides to follow? Would like to have a look first at it, before deciding its cheaper and easier to use someone like yourself.

Failing that I might just take you up on the offer, how quick is your turn around and what kind of costs (PM me if you dont want to put them up here).

It would be 8 stools/side tables, so not too large.

It's not just instructions, you need a certain level of equipment - not so much the camera but proper and controllable lighting. It depends how fussy you are and how good you want the result to be.

Where are you? I'm in Essex so transporting furniture might rule me out.

Dont worry about the transportation, I would get it couriered to you from scotland and then on to me in London or back to scotland.
