01 | DELIGHTFUL SMELLS AND SIGHTS WITH SHIV VERMA
Setting the stage for product photography can be a challenge. What can be so challenging about still life photography shooting, you ask? Let's dig into that statement a little deeper, shall we?
Locating the right product/subject, cleaning that product to remove any fingerprints/imperfections (that might be visible once you start snapping with your mirrorless), adding a unique and oftentimes intriguing abstract perspective are just a few crossroads you'll have to address prior to staging for your shoot.
02 | OVERHEAD FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY WITH BOB COATES
“This technique is not just for food. Any time you want to have a top-down view, this works great.”
“This can be a great set for capturing a lot of food dishes in a short period of time. Once the set is in place and the lighting is correct, you are good to keep moving different dishes through. You’ll still need to work on the images in post-production but your time in the restaurant will be relatively minimal. Clients love it when you don’t impede on business hours.”
03 | PLATYPOD THE COMPACT TRAVELING TRIPOD WITH SAMANTHA KENNEDY
“This image was taken at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. I knew that one image wouldn’t capture everything so I quickly setup my Platypod eXtreme (adjusting the spikes for a sturdy base) and Platyball Elite on one of the rocks along the shore.”
“After I made sure that my camera was level (using the indicator on the back of the Platyball Elite), I took 9 images that I then merged together in Lightroom during post.”
