The difficult duo

Metal and Glass

These two materials, along with other highly polished surfaces like varnished wood, high gloss paint, and some plastics prove to be extremely difficult to photograph successfully. This is truly the realm of the professional photographer working in studio conditions where the lighting can be controlled and reflections minimised or eliminated altogether.

We understand the differences between direct and diffuse reflections, polarised and non-polarised reflections. And more importantly, we know how to work with each type to give us the best chance of success for each type of surface.

Maybe you have tried yourself or maybe another photographer has not managed to tame the beast, at least to your satisfaction. We guarantee to give you our best possible image. To prove this to you we are prepared to perform a test shoot of your product at no cost to you. We both win here. You are happy that we can do the job. We have another product sample to add to our portfolio, even if you later decide not to proceed with the job. Of course, we hope you do go ahead.

And importantly, we are publishing our charges. You know up front what your costs will be. See .pdf file
