Default Fotos for catalogues ................................

Well in my last thread Patrick asked to see some examples of what I have been doing lately in taking fotos for an importer for his catalogue.

It was a first for me using a studio with lights. Had difficulty getting white balance right for the images.

Here are some examples.

The frog - here I have taken the shot in the studio and then some PP to make the background completely white. Over 1,000 shots like this in 3 weeks.

Frog

Some keyholders - example where the background has not been removed

Keyholders

then some concept fotos of a group of products

These are well done Bernz! I guess it might get a little tedious just taking product shots, but hey! At least you are making money with your Photography, all I do is spend it!! l.o.l
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thanks Michael - yes earning money is good but it certainly is tedious taking these shots especially the PP removing the backgrounds. Cheers, Bernz

Thanks nswphotos - I am being paid by the hour but like your idea of per foto. That will restrict them with the volume to take and what they use. Also hopefully save me time.

Cheers, Bernz

Thanks for showing us Bernz...this looks like great fun except the pp...that would be rather meticulous I would think, but then again maybe not......I don't know the pp very well yet

Fantastic work Bernz! I agree though, as much fun as it sounds, the PP is obviously very tedious. I just love that frog especially.
