• I'm looking to up my product photography and according to a friend I should buy a different lens. I'm using my gf's Olympus E-M10 with the included 14-42mm 3.5-5.5F lens, supposedly the aperture is too high for my lighting conditions and a longer lens would produce nicer pictures too? He suggests me getting an Olympus 45mm 1.8F lens, it's a fair chunk of money for a struggling artist but I wouldn't mind spending €150-200 if it gives me a serious improvement.

    I currently mostly shoot against a white wall as I ship most of my bags out so can't really take in-the-wild pictures, but as I'm slowly getting on top of my orders I finally have time to make myself some decent bags (I only have prototypes which are a bit shoddy) so I hope to be taking pictures on the (g)road soon.

    I shoot in RAW and faff about in RAWTherapee to reach a semblance of uniformness but as you can see I still need to learn a thing or three.

    Are you using any external lighting? I'd start there - would also be good to see some examples of what you want to achieve.
