Week 15

May 04, 2016

One would assume I have an obsession with knives considering all the photos I've taken of them for my product photography portfolio and maybe that's true but I really do enjoy photographing them. I like that they have both a shinny silver surface and a textured handle that each have their own lighting requirements. I like that they can be placed in various scenes from simple black and white backgrounds, to kitchen counter tops or even elaborates outdoor sets.

This week I took a photo of my Kissing Cranes knife. It was a really simple setup with a back light to create texture on the wood shooting surface and handle and two lights with diffusion panels on either side. One to act as a fill light and the other to create the gradient on the blade.

The table top surface was a sample tile from the hardware stores flooring section.
