I got into the still life studio after it being closed for a week and was shocked to see a brand new table. My first worry was continuity, all my images have been shot on a matte table and the new table has a gloss finish. While I actually prefer this table my images will look different. At this stage of the project I don't have time to re-shoot, or the studio booking.
Although I was thrown off with the new table I had a really good shoot. I felt I was getting the images I needed quickly but was by no means rushing the process. I was content with the lighting and felt at ease even though time is short.
The first set of images I took I noticed after that the stickers on the boxes looked distracting, so i turned them round and felt the image looked more professional and clean.
I love the simplicity of the white boxes and don't think the images look to bare or empty. I feel I have achieved the minimal look.
I think I will use one of these images as the feature image as I think its powerful but simple.
Products
Looking at these images I can see my skills have improved, I enjoy looking at this image and the minimalism, before when I tried shooting the products I felt the images looked boring and lacked substance, but this image works for me.
I then took pictures of the products together and separately to sort of warm up and make sure the lighting was good.
I added some opaline and aura quartz to the set up, I didn't want to use crystals with intense colours as it might have distracted from the colour of the product.
I tried out adding in some cardboard shred, I realised I'd gone too far after taking a few images and returned to take images of what i'd already shot to make sure I had enough images as I do not have time to re-shoot.
