Back in the day the very last thing on any direct sellers list was lighting. Today it is essential whether for a selfie or snapping product pics, lighting makes the difference. Gone are the days when you could simply use the marketing stills from your company. Original content is key from stills to videos. It can take a lot of trial and error to get the perfect light (I have a few mistakes in the garage). Here are a few of my favorite light rings that I use personally.

My Cell Phone Ring. Is collapses down to a table top size or can extend to a floor lamp. Lightweight and easy to transport. It has a remote, 10 light levels and 3 light colors. Super easy to use! Sensyne 10” Ring Light

My Laptop Ring
This is an 18 inch ring with 2 colors of filter and infinite light settings. It is BRIGHT at the highest setting. I call it the big gun. It also has a remote and comes with a cell phone mount. I love it! EOTO 18″ Ring Light.

Light Box

I also have a light box. It is great for shooting products but not mandatory. A light box gives you a solid background that can easily be photoshopped or enhanced using Canva. This one collapses down for storage. The light level is great and the colored backdrops help add variety to shots. RALENO® Light Box

These are the tools in my arsenal! Have a different favorite? Please share.
