Subject: RE: photographing guitars

From: Larry Colen
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.
