    hi the best/cheapest methord to take photos for small e-commerce is using digital cameras, generally put the object in a white background i.e like a white cloth and take a photo with a digital camera some people put a bright white light in a aquariam with a white cloth lining the aquariam and taking pictures……. there are thousands of sharewares which maniuplate jpegs to get a transparant background.

    You need 2 lights to get contrast. Set one at 10 O’clock and one at 7 o’clock. Put a difuser (white paper) in front of the 7 o’clock lite (you want half the light from that one). Use a background with a single strong color (not the same as the product) that you can select in Photoshop to delete out the background. Support the product on a rod (stick it on using putty) that is behind the product so it does not show. Keep the background as far away as possible and use as large an f stop as you can while keeping the whole product in focus. That’s about it!
