Random Late Night Blog: Shoe Product shots



Nice Kicks.


My Pops bought me some a pair of basketball shoe from K-Mart the other day. I let you know that he's taste in footwear is not the same as mine. He mean well, He know that the only sport I really watch is Basketball and I have big feet.

So the first thing that popped in to my head was "This was be great for a production shoot."

I had taken my Elinchrom out in a while so I decide tonight (morning rather) is the time.

Here's another one for you guys. These are my everyday shoes. I wore these to a Wedding. That's how I roll.


Here's the set-up shot.


That's an Elinchrom D-lite 2 on a manfrotto 3333 lightstand with a medium softbox. High above the shoe ( wish I had a boom arm for this). Power was set on 2.0. Trigger with Cactus wireless Trigger system.

Actually wanted to use a reflector to bounce light back in to the shoe but I left that in the car. So I had a SB-800 on SU-4 mode fill in some light.

For the protege shoe the SB-800 was on camera right set on 1/32 power with the diffuser dome on.

For the Chuck's the SB-800 was on Camera left set on 1/16 power with the diffuser dome on.
