Lense for Indoor Product Photography
I have been asked by a local store if I could take about 100 or so photos of the various sections they have, so that would be products they have for sale including clothes racks; furniture; electronics; dishes; toys etc to be used for advertising online to potential customers. Normally my main shooting is wildlife outdoors so the updated 80-400vr fits the bill perfectly for that. My body is a D7200 and the only small type lense I have is the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D. Not a bad lense and sharp but not sure if this would work for this type of indoor shoot. I rarely ever use it. Most likely I would just use the D7200 flash if needed, as I do not currently have an external flash. Would this lense do the trick or is there a preferred option to go with. Images will be uploaded to a web site so that may make a difference. Thanks for any input. I am pretty handy at post editing on my MacBook Pro but prefer when possible to shoot good quality images intially to make that easier afterwards. I have been thinking about getting a wide angle lense for vacations and outdoor landscape photography so this is another option to kill to birds with one stone so to speak. Mind you a wide angle lense may make the products or sections look a little distorted instead of life like. I know the wide angle lenses are often used for indoor real estate shoots when selling a house but even then they sometimes make the rooms look much larger than they are in real life when inside yourself looking. Going forward this type of photo shooting is not something I would do too often, my wife works at the store so that is how this came about.
