We shot a full line of industrial lighting products at the manufacturing plant. From overhead lighting you see in commercial retail stores and manufacturing plants to stylized industrial quality hanging pendant lights and solid metal exterior parking lot lights this was an extensive catalog. Some of the lighting products measured nearly 9 feet in length.
Shooting against a backdrop we used existing light which was a mix of tungsten and fluorescent light. We used a 5′ x 5′ scrim to soften the overhead skylight. By trial and error we shot with automatic exposure, viewed each product for accuracy and adjusted as needed to match our eye. Once we began photo editing we had a great reference which gave us a perfect color match. This was the most efficient way to shoot the products within an 8 hour day. Crucial to time management in a product shoot like this is having an employee of the client on hand to move product.
