DAIWA SHORE SPARTAN POWER SPLASH DEKANGO

Studio Product - Daiwa Lures

Shooting chrome products is all about avoiding reflections, on flat surfaces is a lot easier compared to small round products like fishing lures. Understanding light direction and shaping it to suit is the main method, but also using shift or perspective control lenses help immensely. On small products you can place the camera to...

Many ignore or dispel the need for high quality or professional images of basic items, but they still deserve to be shot well, always remember...

Glass is difficult enough to capture, but a glass circular bowl is a real challenge. A three-light setup, soft box from above, reflector at 45 degrees to the front and a soft box directly behind. Plus a few home-made half-moon shaped gobos to add a little bit of an edge to the glass. The...

STUDIO - DUO INTERNATIONAL

After shooting about 50 images of the Duo Realis Popper, one thing that is revealed is the amount of times that the lure is captured upside down. In fact, nearly half the images show the popper this way and the hooks pointing skywards, maybe this is a good explanation why so many fish don’t...

This was a super elaborate setup to create a pop or water explosion effect for a Duo Realis Popper 64 popping through the water surface. Three flashes, two white and two black reflectors plus an assortment of cables and triggers, help freeze the affect. Camera: Nikon Z7 Lens: Nikon PC-E 85mm f2.8 ED with...
