I make Myers Halloween masks and their very hard to get accurate pics of. Maybe due to the white face and lack of contrast? This video really seems like it would apply to what i,m trying to achieve. Is this seamless background a big part of the puzzle? I really just want to show my work as it really is and outside over accents the flaws in the sculpt. What bulbs would u recommend in the overhead?

Thanks for the clever idea of using the clamp to make a tripod for the foam-core. So simple, so easy and so useful!

I would like to make the sculpture that I am photographing look large, so I want to shoot at a slight upward angle. The problem that I have is that I then cut off the sculpture with with the edge of the table. Any suggestions?

Especially helpful re setting up lighting options from natural light (single source) to multiple light sources...experiments with lighting from above, from side(s), reflective fill light...to determine best choice for object being photographed.THANKS! p.s.Could use more info (other videos?) on type of bulbs and camera settings.
