Here is a photo taken of the setup used with colour-block backgrounds. The object is placed in the middle; on top of a colourful sheet, with a second sheet behind it. It is difficult to see because of the flash being on, but there is a small pilot light to the right, which makes it easier to focus and adjust the image when the flash is off. Then there are the two flashes either side of the object being photographed, this helps give the photo bright and even lighting. As this photo was taken using the camera the camera setup cannot be seen in this photo, but it consisted of a camera with a flash transmitter attached, placed on a tripod with a sandbag to prevent it falling over. There was also a shutter cable release used in order to reduce camera shake when pressing the shutter button on the actual camera.
This is an example of a raw image from the colour-block background photo shoot. It is unedited yet extremely vibrant and popping out of the page, this is thanks to the high contrast between the background and object being photographed in the foreground which is possible due to this method.
This is an example of a finished photo from the shoot. I will go into further detail about it in the next blog post.
