I haven't got a chance to take any photos lately, so I have decided to play around with what I can find indoors, have few flashes to fool around with.

So yeah, here are the results:

They were pretty much out of the box with a slight level curve to bring out a little punch of it.

Seeking C&C on how to have improved these. :)

The only thing I noticed was for #3, the details, it seems a little dirty/dusty - and that really distracts (apart from the reflection).

I love how mobile phones and sunglasses are always the first things to be taken when playing around with lightboxes. :lol:

The soft lighting you have created is great. I second the comment about the dust in #3. The chopped corners of the phone was also a little distracting. With #2, I would have liked to see some more soft shadows - at the moment, it looks like it's just floating in white space.

I noticed that too when viewed in the monitor... :lol:
The shiny surface is a real PITA that attracts fingerprints and dust like crazy... :P

It is actually just in the open space, I didnt use a lightbox/cube. One strobe with brolly and a bare flash on the other side.

they look really good!


Thanks Jamesw :D
