Commercial still life photography is certainly no easy task, but that doesn't mean we have to leave it to the professionals. Far from it. Even if you're completely new to taking 'product' shots, you can still produce something that wouldn't look out of place on the pages of a glossy mag. So, organise that background, get your 'products' arranged, make use of the available light in the room, and you could be taking commercial-standard still life images in no time.

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
