I really hope Yahoo doesn’t fuck up Tumblr like it’s fucked up … well, every single thing it’s ever touched in the history of the universe.
What’s it like shooting products like the iPhone and iPad for Macworld and other clients?
The Verge interviewed product photographer Peter Belanger, and we have a feeling getting the job done requires a light stand or two.
Here’s an excerpt —
The team … always has a really well developed shot list and sketches of what they need. I work with their talented art directors to translate those sketches into photos.
We start by getting the position of the product and then move forward on lighting. Because [the] products have such carefully selected materials it is incredibly important to light the product in a way that will showcase the various materials accurately.
And here’s a great video of Peter at work.
