stephen_mcateer Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) I'm looking for a light that produces sharply-defined shadows on small / medium-sized products. Preferably nothing too expensive. *I would prefer a constant light to a strobe.* I'm attaching an example of the look I hope to achieve. Can anyone tell me what sort of light I'm looking for? Thanks.

AJG Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 You want something with a fairly focused narrow beam--a small studio flash with standard 75-80 degree reflector would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_mcateer Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 @ajg Thanks for that. I see some reasonably-priced LED studio lights on Amazon which might fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Just be aware that not all LED lights are created equal-some of them won't have great color output and will create extra work in post if accurate color is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_mcateer Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 @AJG Thanks. Hadn't thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
