FRESHEN UP

Today I focused back on product photography. Using a typical household item such as deodorant, the possibilities are endless. This photo was created using one speedlight with 2 images composited together. The first shot was the back light which was created with 2 grids placed on the speedlight for the tight round circle. The deodorant was shot with a speedlight and some black cards to block out unwanted light. The images were composited in photoshop for the final result. Unfortunately, there was some jaggedness on the text on the deodorant which was cleaned up as best as possible.

UTILIZING MY DOWNTIME

As many of us are now are more or less sequestered in our home, we need to be creative finding activities to maintain our sanity during these trying times. As it is quite evident I will not be starting any Invisalign cases in the near future, I have decided to rediscover my passion for photography. I have decided to work on my product photography skills (ie. commercial) since being indoors is quite ideal for this genre of photography. I plan on photography one product per day with various twists, backgrounds, etc.

Today’s image is something quite simple as a kitchen staple - the fork. The beauty of this idea is we all have many products lingering around our house which can be showcased in a different light.
