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.

  2. 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.
