Lighting setup for photographing kitchen "scene"

Recommended Posts

Client sells kitchen trash cans (under the sink kind). Wants me to

photograph said trashcans in a natural-looking kitchen scene with a

women pulling the trashcan out of cabinet or otherwise doing

something natural-looking with it. Previously I've only done studio

photography and small product shots in tents. I have three 500ws

Hensel monolights and a bunch of umbrellas, soft boxes, reflectors,

and the like. <p>

What would I need in terms of setup to do this? Client wants the

shot done "on location" in some kitchen cabinet maker's shop. Thanks

much in advance.

I would try to avoid photographing it actually in the cabinet - it will be difficult to get natural-looking light in there and difficult to get a natural pose from the model that doesn't block sight of the product.<p>My first thought is for natural-looking general lighting, perhaps bouncing lights off the ceiling, with local harder lighting on the product itself - is the product stainless steel, plastic or what? This will affect lighting requirements, reflectors, absorbers etc. Do you have a pic of it?
