In this macro photography tutorial we take a look at lighting a reflective subject at home using a couple of cheap pocket watches.
In this series of macro photography subject ideas and inspiration, Ben photographs subjects that you can easily shoot at home, with spectacular results.
In this week’s macro photography tutorial, we have some detailed and reflective pocket watches to shoot. The reflective surface of a subject can make it difficult to preserve details and get the reflections of the lights exactly where you want them.
In this tutorial we show you how to how to set-up the shot, using an iPad and paper for a surface. We take a look at lighting how the Adaptalux Studio’s flexibility can help you to get both representative and creative shots of a detailed but reflective subject.
