Flashing your product.

By Flanegan

I’m bored.. So I did this with my holga, Not so very interesting thou. Just a lil tips what you should do with your flash just beside point at the object or you use it just because not enough light on the object.

Anyway here’s the shot :

Holga shots.

In the image, you can see the objects is not flat. Because i’m using 2 flashes to create a surface for this object.
You can see a rim light on top of the product and also on the right side of the lens and the darkest part of the camera is not underexpose, you still can see the texture very clear.

Well, that’s the basic of how to lights up the product you shooting for your client.

This time let me go backward a lil bit, this is how you see from your eyes.

Why is it glowing?

Since I’m doing this shoot alone, I have to hold the soft paper above the camera to create a very soft light. Beside that, from that soft paper the light will spread wider to the white paper front below the camera so that the light from top will bounce and shows the texture of the lens cap and etc.

Ok.. Let’s now see the whole diagram on a wide angle lens :

Flash Diagram

Top Flash is the main global light cover with soft paper (a.k.a D.I.Y softbox) and on the right side, there’s another flash 1 stop lower than the main global light to create a surface on the camera side. The white paper below front is a reflector for both flash to create a lil bit of light in front.

So basically…. Top light is the main source, right light is the 2nd sources just to create surface and 1 stop below brightness than the main light sources. and the White paper maybe give half a stop brightness for the front camera.

Now you know how to lights a product..

For those who wants to know what i’m using to shoot this..
Nikon SB-28 Flash
Canon 430EX Flash

That’s all.. No fancy-pancy accesories.

Let’s talk about Contact Sheet.

By Flanegan

Every Photographer have a Contact Sheet.. An Uneditted photo with a photo number arrange side by side like how you write a diary or blog for you to read. But this one, you see the photo and circle the one you likes to use and edit it in darkroom or now the so called digital darkroom. :D

I found an interesting video about Contact Sheet on youtube :


Contact Sheets

Most of Photojournalist have contact sheet in every film they developed. They just scan it using a scanner that can scan negative film. Even commercial photographer have a contact sheets to decide which photos they want to combine.

In Digital Photography, we use Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom or related software to choose the photos we want to edit and print or post in on the net. You can set a star for your fav photos and also colours to categorize each photo into a set beside using keyword or tag to find your photos.s

Now you know how useful is Contact Sheet.

Bah, arrange your photos now!!
