I had the pleasure of doing a personal shoot with Hannah sometime back as the first part of a series of shoots that provide a glimpse of her journey as a musical artiste.
This was shot when she was putting the finishing touches to her debut album, Crossing Bridges.
Some scenes around the recording studio…
Moving forward, some shots of the songstress in action…
Many people have often approached me and asked me how I do my product and close-up studio shots. In actuality, I use a very simple DIY solution…
You can put one or two layers of tracing paper on the cartons and also line the insides of it with foil. For light source, you can use strong daylight (4200K) lamps or flashguns (if you have the budget). I use 2 flashguns commanded wirelessly via an infrared commander which I can control the lighting ratio. For backdrops, you can buy fancy artboards from the artshops or use satin from Kamdar. The white board on top is to ensure there are no light leaks through and from above.
Some results with this setup (with some variations)…
