A really quick of review of some of the we photographed in the demo last Monday. We covered some difficult product to shoot, like chrome items, suede, and shiny accessories. We also covered general standard shots of belts, rings, bags, and shoes. What follows is some examples of items we shot. Chrome bags need to filled in front of the camera to reflect white and show off the chrome. We used a 'Doughnut' to reflect white instead of black on the chrome bag. Suede bags need almost a full stop of light extra to show off the texture. Shooting eCommerce on white allows you to set the lighting in front for whatever the product needs without having to adjust the background each time. Two typical views of shoes. Three quarter front and three quarter back. White objects on white background need special care on lighting ratios to make ure the background is white, but the object has some tone. Negative fills can be used to subtract light and create dimension. CommentsLeave a Reply | AuthorDavid Calicchio is a photographer working in Los Angeles.
