Shooting points of light.

So I have this vision inside my head of a piece of jewellery that flashes points of light, a black background, and multiple exposures.

Nail varnish and perfume.

One of the things I was interested in giving a shot at was sort of product glossy magazine type photographs.

Most of the product photography that I see done through the various photography groups I am involved in tend to involve lightboxes. I don’t own one and I’m not hugely enthused about buying more gear to [...]
