Behind the scenes on a small product shot. This style of shoot is quite standard for eshops which need product photos with a white background. This particular shot is a little tricky with a white product.

  • Brilliant tutorial! I'm a proper novice that needs to have product shots with a white background. Stupid me went & bought the Sharpics D-flector only after viewing this.

    You can probably hear me cry.

    Question:

    I've just purchased a Fuji finepix S1730 but I can not find an external flash that works with it. What would you recommend?

    Many thanks in advance for your help. p.s. if you want my D-Flector you are most welcome to it! I've used it for 2 hours & put it back in the box.

  • @janiebolton Well you don't have a hotshoe or any other method of triggering a radio trigger, so your only option is an optical trigger. This would rely on the camera's onboard flash firing to trigger the slave flash. There can be a problem however because many cameras use a pre-flash to check exposure/white balance etc. This means the slave flash fires when it sees the pre-flash rather than the actual flash. "Smart slaves" (wein peanut?) detect the second flash and might be an option for you.

  • What material are you using under the speaker? Is it just white cardboard? It looks like it has some reflection to it. . .

  • I believe it is commonly called foamcore board or something along that line. Go to an art store and you'll find the stuff. Usually in packs of either white or black, but possibly other colours too (never seen anything else though).

  • Very useful technique for background and reflection. Thanks for sharing.

  • Thank you I had the basic I dea but this made it look easy.

  • Man, seriously, thumbs up!

  • WOW! SO SIMPLE! THANKS!!!!!

  • @300582228 Yep, you get various brands. This is one called a "Large Photography Clamp" from a company called Maplin (who sell it - not make it)

  • @300582228 Hot shoe? The only hot shoe is one the camera. If you mean what the flashguns are mounted on, you either mean a light stand or a photography clamp?

  • @n506 Thought the music was really good, nice choice!
