These light colored and transparent products were shot with a pure white background and come direct out of the camera. The shots are straight usable to release for print or online without making a cutout course or mask. Ideal to use for a large number of items to release in a catalogue or webshop.
In this collage you see a couple of results and a shot from the setup in my very small studio space.
For eliminating dust and false reflections, I didn’t make the effort.
STROBIST INFORMATION:
Left = Canon 430 EXII at 1/4 power in soft box 30x30cm.
Middle = Canon 540 EX at 1/2 power, covered with barn door and extra black board to prevent direct reflections.
Right = Canon 540 EX at 1/4 power in 22×90 stripbox, partial covered with a acryl plate to prevent over direct exposure.
Thanks to a tutorial that was published online by Terry Croom and motivated me, I began to shoot this light colored items.
