Shooting Notes
With a variety of projects always at hand the technical difficulties of capturing ” surface ” variations becomes key. The depiction of a bright glossy surface of a ceramic and a flat furry surface of a soft toy requires different lighting techniques.
The essential requirment is still light but how we use it or modify it to accomodate a changing surface is the question.
As you will read in “shooting notes” on cups and snowmen, ceramic shooting often involves a precise reduction of very small elements of the overall light. Eventually this contrived totality represents a reduction of the whole.light.
With soft toys there is often less need to consider the reduction of light by small precise increments. It’s more about a concentration on achieving a working light that is sympathetic to the subject.. We are after the “aahhhh” factor.
A Serious Purpose
All in all it’s great fun. There may appear to be an air of flippancy within some of the following pages. How can you get excited about ceramic teapots or snowmen ? Ignoring that deep involvement though , the attachment if you like misses the point. Its that very involveent that lets Carters into a world of absolute focus on the tiniest detail of the things that make the product.
Through all our countless sessions of ceramic photography nothing creates as much as of a “rush” as fine china.
Perhaps we’ve spent too long sealed into our studio/workshop walls often late at night but that is what we do. Carters essentially photograph ceramics.
Photographing soft toys though is also a special pleasure. We have three very young children within our extended families spread worldwide. As a treat their presents get the studio “picture gaze” often before departure.to see if there is a shot.. In the past presents have had to bought again where grandad has realised getting toys “back in” can mess them up !
