Photographing black-on-black products can be hard enough as it is, but things become even more complex when the product has gloss surfaces and curved shapes.
In this class, Karl explains the challenges you can expect to face when photographing black gloss products on a black background and demonstrates how to overcome these as he photographs an electric guitar. Throughout the shoot, you’ll see how he uses a tilt-shift adapter to achieve sufficient depth of field, creates gradient lighting to highlight the shape of the guitar, and controls precise patches of light to accentuate key areas of the instrument.
