Ambient and flash product shots

We are after, for one of our clients, a creative take on photos of their valuable works of art . This video and sample images are a "first draft" idea (featuring an art work of our own!). All shot on a Nikon D3 in manual mode, -1 stop exposure compensation (we like the slightly darker more atmospheric tones) , a Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 and SB900 through a soft box

1X Photobook, 2010 inclusion.

Follow Me on Pinterest

We are thrilled that one of Ian's images was selected for inclusion in the 1X collection for 2010. 1X.com is a site where images are stringently assessed before they are included on the site. Images are assessed not only for technical quality but also for story, motif, lighting, composition and exposure. This makes inclusion in the book very rewarding as only the best images get published. The image chosen is titled 1, 2, 3 jump, and is shown here. Check out the website at www.1x.com.
