Product photography

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 at 9:08

Not a lot of time to go out to take pictures so I’ve been trying some product photography. I chose to photograph a Wacom on a glass table. This wasn’t easy: (1) The table was kind of dirty (2) The Wacom is mostly a black object.

Also, I had a lot of problems with my flash not firing. I am using Cactus triggers v4.

First I was taking shots with just the wacom tablet. To add some dynamism to the picture I added the pen and pen holder. Still, not very satisfied with the result.

It’s apparent that the product has been used (I had to remove a lot of scratches and you still see smears on the side). Maybe tomorrow I will attempt to replicate a “true” product shot (white background) (example: http://www.photofacts.nl/fotografie/foto/et/wacom_intuos5_touch_m.jpg )
