Hi How to photograph flat glass and small glass tech. elements in studio? Work is for web and publication. Two suggestions: (1) flat black, nonreflective background and base; light the glass only. (2) translucent background and base; light through the background and base, but not the glass. -- Philip Stripling | email to the replyto address is presumed Legal Assistance on the Web | spam and read later. email to philip@ http://www.PhilipStripling.com/ | my domain is read daily. |

One lights & photographs glass differently from pretty much any other
subject. It's a fun challenge. Some advice: === Make sure the glass is spotless! === For clear or light colored glass, don't light the glass at all; instead, light the background with a bright light & put the glass object between the background & the camera. That's how you get those images of glass objects where the glass looks like a dark ink drawing. Consider not lighting the background evenly -- a bright spot that darkens around the edges can be very dramatic; an evenly lit background would be good for a minimalist image (and perhaps best if you are trying to do catalog type images). === If the glass is clear, consider B&W images. === For opaque glass, use soft boxes. Experiment with placement -- you will probably get the best results by placing the soft boxes off to the sides of the glass object (or even a little behind the glass object. === Composition will be important. Take your time & get it right. Good luck. looknsee http://www.looknseephoto.com On Tue, 4 May 2004 19:41:58 +0200, "Jan Werbiński" wrote: Hi How to photograph flat glass and small glass tech. elements in studio?
