Outside the Light Box

Product photography is usually straight forward, and can be repetitive too. Last week I decided to think outside the light box and come up with something a little more edgy.

These shots both required staging, a tripod, a circular polarizing filter, timed exposures, and waiting for the right lighting conditions.

The results are a little unconventional, but that's the point.

Your work is inspiring and truly a pleasure to look at. Could you be any better with a camera? Doubtful..
Keep up the great work! I can't believe I didnt find your blog before now!

Man, when I see a reel I see a fly line holder. When you see a reel you see vibrant colors and an opportunity to show it's art-ful side.

When I see your reel photos I want to go home and just look at my fly reel and see if I can see these amazing images in my own reel.

Great job.

I like the technical side of these shots. Really original and eye catching stuff for sure. Nice work.

Ben, Brandon, and Luke -- thanks for dropping in and for the kind words! These shots were off the beaten path and I'm glad to hear others think they are successful images. Gear = Good.
