THINGS
As a product photographer, I spent years studying the way light interacts with a variety of materials (including fabrics, reflective/glossy/matt plastics, and metal). Light can be used to accentuate the industrial design of a product, contouring it’s shape and drawing attention to important features. Light can be used create interesting shadows, enhancing a the overall composition of an image. It can also be used create an an environment or mood within which the product exists - telling a story about the meaning of an individual product, brand, or desired customer. This section of my portfolio utilizes a variety of studio lighting techniques but each image creates a clear visual hierarchy, putting the product at the top of that hierarchy and creating an object of desire. I hope you’ll be inspired to utilize my expertise and artistic vision in capturing compelling visual narratives that suite your brand.
A complex composite of Giro cycling shoes and pedals, tumbling through the composition. Each component was photographed individually against a black background with as single key light and then carefully arranged in post-production to balance the image.
Using low-key studio lighting, this detail shows how a GoPro Hero 11 is mounted to the visor of Giro’s full face mountain bike helmet. Like painters who use chiaroscuro for dramatic effect, the product in this shot emerges from darkness, drawing the viewer’s eye to the subject of the photograph.
A teal and purple helmet lean against a warm pink wall. A long drop shadow, created using a sing studio strobe, mimics late afternoon sunlight. The light accentuates the helmet’s unique design and the top-down perspective shows a translucent support, making the helmet appear more open and ventilated.
