About
This was for a class assignment, to shoot an object on differant backgrounds. Lit with a tungsten light through an overhead diffusion flat, with a second light bounced into a fill card to fill in the front.
Hugo- Yup, emotionless it cernainly is, but you're right, that's part of the assignment, straight catalog photography. The point of the assignment was two fold, one to make us deal with the same object over and over to really understand how to light it well, and then to think about how backgrounds relate to and work with the subject. One shot had to be 'enviromental', two backgrounds had to be specular, and one shot had to be to a specific aspect ratio. I'll post the rest of the series as I get them scaned.
Hi Peter, A very clean shot, but a rather "emotionless" one. Obviously, that's also part of the assignment. I'd like to see the other backgrounds, I presume the goal is to create a unity within the series? That would be interesting to see. As a stand alone, I think this shot would do very well on a on line shopping website, but it is a bit dull.
