Product Shot - Guitar


My daughter Ashley has guitar lessons every Saturday from 12:00 -1:00pm at O.DiBella Music.
Today's class was cancelled so I took this opportunity to try and make a product shot of her electric guitar. The following shots were made with the same lighting set up with a few subtle tweaks to change the highlight and reflections. There is a main light to camera left with a medium sized softbox . Right on top of the main light is a flash on a LumiQuest softbox to highlight the upper neck and headstock. Almost 90 degrees right of the guitar (from camera view) is a strip box to provide a bit of rim/highlight. The other strip box is about 11 o'clock behind the guitar. The last flash is set low on a table about 10 o'clock. Camera settings were at ISO 200 F9 @ 1/200 sec. Camera was hand held since my tripod wasn't cooperating.
