Photography Session

Professional Photography //

As part of my self branding project, I produced a small box for my cup cake idea. The only problem I came across with this part of the process was that as it was a late design decision, I didn't have time to get a slot in the digital print room. This would have allowed me to print information about myself onto the box.

To overcome this, I had the idea to take really high quality photographs of the box using a lighting kit and good camera so that I could mock up what it would have looked like on photoshop.

The set up consisted of two warm lights on each side of the canvas pointing to the centre. The canvas was a thick white sheet hung from the ceiling and rolled out down to the floor. This gave for a completely blank background with strong lighting coming from two angles. It also gives the effect as though the object is floating in nothingness apart from the shadows created. This environment makes for a perfect setting for photography.

Some of the photos produced are shown below...
