I agree with the suggestions/comments offered by Adam and by Aris.<BR/><BR/>Also, thanks for keeping your K10D book available in e-book form. Bought a copy last week; wished I could have been in a position to buy the paper version when you were printing them up, but the e-version will do.<BR/><BR/>All my relations, ChristineChristine Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411938997230383083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-873354290026334252009-03-20T23:01:00.000-07:002009-03-20T23:01:00.000-07:00Yep, works quite well.

In this case you will find it will depend on how the layout of the final product will be. What I mean is will each guitar be displayed individually? or will they be displayed as a group. If it is individually then I would try to use a color that compliments(like using one from the body) the guitar. If they are to be displayed in a group then you will find that by going with one color style of frame will create a uniformed look for the products as a whole. If it was me I would have a separate look for each guitar that way it really creates a sense of individuality for each guitar even if they are displayed as a group. I hope this helps :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>AdamNeil Gaudethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652073654881772916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-1491182599385931192009-03-19T07:29:00.000-07:002009-03-19T07:29:00.000-07:00I couldn't tell that it was your first time.

They come in many colors. Do you think I should always match the primary color of each guitar or just use a sample of the gradient background. The background will always be black to white.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363645754592641317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-4868457500404146992009-03-19T00:06:00.000-07:002009-03-19T00:06:00.000-07:00Like the shots Yvon.

I find it does not flow right for me. I would try a silver/ metallic border or a border color that compliments the guitar a little better. Maybe try some color samples from the body of the guitar there are some nice light to dark browns. Anyways nice work keep it up.<BR/><BR/>AdamNeil Gaudethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652073654881772916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-9855573071325860452009-03-18T16:12:00.000-07:002009-03-18T16:12:00.000-07:00I also never did any product photograpy but as a g...I also never did any product photograpy but as a guitar player I never miss an occasion to talk about music gear :] In this case, I think you did some decent job on the shot, but I don't like that "iPod'ish" style applied. Still, it's a good idea to use available light for this one and do some shots showing fine craftmanship and wood-metal connections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063079619074407721.post-38045512142938049872009-03-18T15:44:00.000-07:002009-03-18T15:44:00.000-07:00i'm not a product photographer either, but that lo...i'm not a product photographer either, but that looks really nice. good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
