How to shoot Mirrored Black on Seamless White

March 27th, 2009 by Kris

Use a 3d Model, you know like Apple does. Fine, I’ll tell. Play the angle. Remeber that angle of reflection equals angle of incident, right? You didn’t pay attention in physics either, did you? Well simply put, we’re bouncing light off a colored surface into the mirrored finish to “fake” the black box. Well, here’s the setup and the last photo is the final result of 2 of the setups. The final shots are right out of the camera, I used lightroom to crop and exports, but that’s it. Check it out and email me if you’ve got any questions! Good luck.
