Question
I would like to know if there any good online resources for indoor product photography ?
Preferably with a Table Top setup.
Im looking for commercial grade product photography tutorials/resources.
I would like to add that I already own a Tabletop setup. It includes 3 Lights, a Cube box where the product is placed etc. I would be using a Nikon D90 camera.
Answer
The book Light Science and Magic is just about the best resource on product photography for beginners. It's about lighting in general but it's written by a product photographer and most of the material and importantly the examples relates to indoor small product photography (there's a bit on portraits later on).
It's very easy to read yet in covers the vast majority of product shoots you're likely to come across, starting from basic principals (inverse square law, hard and soft light, specular and diffuse reflections) and then goes through each type of material (metal, glass, etc.) in turn, including a section on troubleshooting and emergency techniques for really difficult subjects.
The second edition is available on Google books so you can get a taste:
If you've got a spare $30 I'd highly recommend picking up a hard copy of the third edition.
