CHAPTER ONEPHOTOGRAPHER’S COMMENTS—Notes on the Stylist Kit Set
This shot is of the set that is used throughout the book for technical
and working shots. To achieve continuity in the appearance of our
technical shots, I decided to use the same lighting for all of the
technical shots with exceptions only for specifi c products that need
special lighting techniques.
The white set has two Chimera lightbanks, one small key light and
one medium fi ll. I use Chimera lightbanks to give an even, soft light
to all shots. I used the same camera and lens for all shots on the
technical set to maintain color and lens perspective.
The white seamlessness acts as a background and also serves as a
large fi ll card that lights the stainless steel in this shot.
