Phil Bradshaw Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Looking for some suggestions and techniques for lighting a black (glossy) football helmet on a turntable. Shooting on the HVX-200, 720p 24PN. Would like to shoot in a studio, but we're preparing for alternative methods (white seamless, 1000h vellum, 8x8 and 12x12 solids). Any input is appreciated.

jeff woods Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Since the gloss black will essentially act as a mirror, you'll need to be aware of what is seen in it. As with cars, a familiar stand by is the large white source above, acting as both light and something to reflect in the gloss, so as to define the shape of the car. -j Edited June 24, 2009 by jeff woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
