Just got word of a possible paid gig on Monday photographing guitars.
Anything in particular to watch out for?
Reflections? Use a polarizer? Try to set up a light tent?
Larry
Reflections are a big deal. It's like photographing glass. You can
easily get blown out specular highlights from the finish.
You want a very large light vs. the instrument.
In school we used hot lights reflected off 4'x8' white panels to give a
soft, even overall light, but you could do strobes the same.
A big light tent should work. Move the lights back so that the whole
tent illuminates the instrument without hot spots.
