In my ongoing quest to perfect the art of product photography, I experimented with something a little different this time around. Rather than shoot your average-sized product, I wanted to photograph smaller products that contained more detail, such as watches.
Prior to the shoot, I went out and purchased a tile of black granite as well as a sheet of clear plexi-glass. The black granite tile adds more of a dramatic look and feel to the image, especially with the particular watch I used for the shoot. The clear plexi-glass is an easy and effective way to add reflection to the shot.
One of the watches I used for this shoot is a Sottomarino Italia watch from the Otaria collection, model #SM-50095-A. The case is made of solid stainless steel with black finish while the band is made of leather.
Below are two images from the shoot, one with the black granite tile as the background and one with a white background with reflective surface.
