To practise with the lighting for a standard product shot we were photographing a white golf ball against a white backdrop. The challenge was getting the right exposure on both.
To get the right exposure on the golf ball and the background we used two lights, the Elinchrom to light the golfball and the Bowens with a snoot to light the background. We also added a white piece of paper under the ball to reflect light back into it to avoid shadows.
After we had got both things white it was time to have a go and photographing some real packaging. we had to alter the lighting arrangement a little as it wasn't all white, but it was just minor adjustments like moving lights closer or further away.
