Photographing latex
From wipipedia.org
Taking photos of latex can be rewarding in itself, but some simple advice can greatly enhance the viewing pleasure later on.
Hints
- Light
- Position major light sources away from the camera but not directly to the side.
- Two or three main lighting directions are usually good:
- One leads to sharp shadows.
- Four and up can get a dull appearance and flatten the depth.
- More is better, until the heat makes you start to sweat profusely.
- Layout
- Going closer to the subject is often good - as much as your lens allows.
- Often it is good to position the main subject a bit to the side from the very centre of the image.
- Watch out for, for example, bars appearing to stick out of the ears (when they're somewhere in the background).
- Setting
- Hide the unwashed sausage pan before shooting in the kitchen, unless washing it is the theme of the photoshoot.
- If possible, get the model to ease up their tensions.
- Post processing
- Work on a copy of the original
- Crop the image
- Adjust light levels
- Scale to screen
- Adjust sharpness but not excessively
