jay dougherty Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry edwards Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebop1065 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 My suggestion is a small light in the cabinet, out of the way to illuminate the can slightly. Maybe even make the kitchen darker to simulate an evening or night usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
