A friend once called me and said he wanted a picture as a print for his Cosmetics-Studio. He gave me all this filthy, tiny pictures he made himself or he found on the internet!! for printing.
I told him there would be a better way to do this and asked him for a new cosmetics brush. He was kind of in a hurry to get these things done, so believe it or not but this shot was a 10min shoot, 10min retouch, ready for printing.
I've done a product shot shortly before and had nearly everything in place. I got a piece of black Perspex, a fishing line, some tape and everything was ready.
I taped the fishing line to the back of the handle and attached the other end to a boom arm. Two striplights from each side for the reflections a black background and boom, we had a shot.
Let me know what you think of the Picture, would love to talk to you guys about it.
This appears to be dark-field lighting. This is a technique I want to master, myself. Looks like you've got it down.
