Object & Environment: Photoshoot

After photographing my 3D "Coralise" sticker bombs out on location - it was time to take some high - quality images of my other products for use within my proposals & mock-ups, as well as for use as the marketing/advertising/distribution material for my products and "Coralise" campaign.

I have quite a lot of previous experience in photography, both using digital and analogue "film" based techniques and really enjoy the process - both studio based and on location as well as the "post-production" effects that can be achieved today using photo - editing software such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom / Elements / CC, Corel PaintShop Pro, etc.

Keeping what I have previously learnt in mind as well as using my personal Nikon DSLR - I was able to set up a make-shift photography "studio" / "set" in my own home studio, complete with infinity back drop and multiple light sources in order to take some high quality images of my products for this module. At this stage I wasn't sure what I wanted to achieve with the images, wether or not these photographs of the products would be enough - or wether I could use the 3D textures I have managed to achieve in my clay models - on further mock ups etc. It is because of this that I wanted to make sure I took a variety of shots from different angles, at different ranges and with different light - sources etc to have a nice selection to play with digitally later.

"Coralise" Product Range - Studio Photographs:

Thoughts 
I am pretty happy with the shots of my products that I have been able to take so far, however I have struggled to get the lighting right due to the various watts of bulbs in my light-sources. To get even clearer shots for use in my campaign promo material and mock-sups - I plan on doing another photoshoot of my 3D clay range in a lighter area if I have the time. Otherwise I am happy to use these shots for further post-prod editing - in the hope that I can make them as clean cut as possible.

The patterns I have managed to create within the clay are clear enough within the images and provide a stark contrast to the white "skeleton" like aesthetic of the 3D coral study pieces that will hopefully strengthen the message I am trying to convey. Hopefully coupled with the campaign text / facts and material that  plan on adding to these images - they will form a good basis for marketing / advertising and promotional material for "Coralise" (by way of billboards, posters, business cards, bus shelter adverts etc etc).
