Photography & lighting
From the category archives:
Recently I was asked to photograph a lot of garment for Swedish fashion designer and brand Fräulein von Hast, she was planning to start a web shop and needed photos of every skirt, blouse, jacket and dress she had available.
For every item she needed at least three, but more often four different angles so the customers can view the front, back and sides of the skirt or jacket they might be interested in.
This is how I set the light, planned the day and shot 325 photos.
A while ago I photographed some Amigurumis in my photo studio for friends who likes to knit small stuffed toys. The result can be seen above and on Flickr if you click on the image.
Lighting small toys is one thing, but getting the light right for wool and threads is quite tricky, especially light colours. To get the structure visible but not blowing out the highlights takes some testing.
Some friends of mine started knitting small toys, more known as amigurumi, which is a japanese thing. Please visit their blog Virkamera (in Swedish only, but the pictures speak for themselves) for more examples.
I helped them with some studio shots of the amigurumis when I had some time to spare. The result came out pretty nice, I think. Some are cute, others are creepy.
Amigurumi dog in sunset, sort of.
