Thoughts and Views of Everything Photographic
7/21/04
You know, it wasn't that long ago we handled projects like this the hard way. The seamless paper in this set-up was a 12' wide roll that we draped from a convenient storage balcony in the manufacturing plant where this exhaust scrubber was made. The unit was over 20' tall and took 8000 Watt-seconds to light, including the heads used for the back-round wash. The best we could get here was a very vertical crop to give a very clean "studio like" product. What ever it takes we get the job done. I remember 2-plus tons of sand in the studio and rear projection Egyptian Pyramids to complete a shot for a maker of underground access boxes. (Of course the Manufacturer's name was "Pyramid".)
Today many of those solutions are handled in the computer much easier, but having come to this the hard way, we know how to set up shots, lighting, color etc. so that the melding of images looks real. Check out the extended family portrait on this web site. The components of the overall group came from the core group and eight separate individual portraits. The attention to lighting and wrap-around made the combination appear completely natural.
Old school know-how, (along with our own silver lab to back it up), joined with the newest technologies give us the tools needed to tackle your job and GET IT DONE.
