More product photos in the office today. They can be tricky: balancing out white / shiny / transparent materials on a 255-white background.
As usual, the trick is to get as much done in-camera and not rely too much on post production for whiting out the background, controlling / eliminating shadows etc.
But sometimes there just isn’t anywhere to hide – especially when you’re photographing curved shiny things.
In the surface of this bottle top, you have: my main light, the pack which is alongside it and all of the office around the other side. Now I screened off most of the office junk with some black card but in post I noticed this weird reflection.
On closer inspection: it’s ME!!! – my shirt and my hand on the shutter release.
Now I could go back and reshoot with the cable release or the self timer but I think in this case photoshop will do.
Although part of me wants to be immortalised with the product.
