Figured I'd try the clickbait-y title hahahaha.
In all seriousness, not a weird trick at all. I've begun taking better photos of my work and I do find myself loving what I've produced quite a bit more. So much so that I am now even MORE attached to the stuff I make. Makes it so hard to say goodbye to the pieces.
Some notes about these photos:
You don't need expensive camera gear. I use an old Canon T3i body, and some old film lenses I've adapted to use for the digital body.
I used prime/fixed focal length lenses for these shots.
No lightbox needed, I used natural light from a window.
No post production either, but maybe some Lightroom edit would be good to try someday.
Feel free to ask me anything about the pieces or photography process.
Wonderful work Jan! #3 is my favourite though they're all great.
I like the angled shots which gives a more dynamic look.
I like these shots. I stumbled upon a similar setup with "horizontal" and fairly low window light, so I'll be trying this sort of thing again. This approach is nice for texture and some colors, and it's a cool, moody vibe. Question: What is the shape of the piece is that's of primary interest? How would you handle that task? Thanks!
