Artist- "Before you
submit your work to juried shows, galleries or collectors,
you need to have really great images. This is your single
most important expenditure as an artist. Do not skimp
here. If your work is not photographed professionally,
or well, you will never get the recognition you want,
or your work deserves." - Sylvia White -Artist

Product Photography is where the amateur and the professional
photographer are very clearly defined. Product Photography
takes a detailed eye and an obsessive personality. I'm
fortunate to have both. For 3 years, from 2005-2008,
I worked with Upper Deck Sports Memorabilia Company
shooting products for their Catalog, Web site and various
other printed promotional materials. I bring this and
20+ years of photographing experience to the table.
Amy Kline These samples are from
a project of 10 pieces. Ceramic Porcelain
My Challenge & Goal was to produce dramatic images
that incorporated the shadows
of the pieces as a important visual element.
Shooting white pieces against a graduated background and maintaining
the detail in the pieces can
be difficult. It
was a very satisfying and successful project.
Pete Liapes
A project of 5 pieces. Ceramic Stoneware
When I shoot a product I like to shoot a variety of angles,
details, & views.
Details are great for selling a piece. It gives you a more exact idea of
craftsmanship.
A good piece of pottery has at least two sides.
Details are also great for promotional marketing
materials.
There is always more than one way to shoot any
item.
Teresa Testa
Project of 9 pieces. Ceramic Porcelain
The same piece Different side
Pete Liapes Teapot The saturation of color
made this piece alot of fun to
shot.
Graphically & Design wise you could use this
image in many ways.
Pier Marsh
When shooting more than one item together, you
must always consider how
the items relate to each other.
Changing the angle of the shot can change the personality
of the piece.
Amy Maeda
My goal is always to create an invisible energy between
the items.
X-Man
These mugs were shot in a grouping to show off
different glazes.
And also highlight the handles.
Paintings
2D work

Details are important they can show paint
thickness & the quality
of the brushstrokes.
Upper Deck Company The following images is
an example of the
work I did
for this company.
Challenges were different kinds of materials. Acrylic& reflective holograms
shot against a white background.
Jersey's were pinned to highlight the item &
the details like a
signature.
Challenges were to reproduce the quality of the fabric.
Some fabrics were more
shiny or reflective than others.
Positioning is very important for items like shoes.
Shooting original artwork to reproduce not only the
painting accurately ...
but also photograph the frame in a way that accurately
explains the type of frame.
Challenges were dealing the Plexiglas, & metal plaques that have a very
reflective quality.
Larger Pieces
and 3D pieces...
shooting them at an angle to give them depth.
Dynamic Close Ups Helped Sell this Product!
Die-Cast Products These were great fun to work on.
This car is about 2".

against a white background.
