Hello!
I am currently taking care of the photography for the startup I'm working for, we mainly take pictures of luxury watches, and I've been asked to improve our setup.
At the moment I'm using:
Nikon D7200
18-55mm
2x Limelite Mosaic 72 Power LEDs
A portable studio box
View media item 12648View media item 12647View media item 12646
with these settings:
Shutter speed: 1/40 - 1/60
ƒ 16
White Balance: AUTO 1
ISO: 2000 - 3000
Now, they've asked me to improve the setup, and asked to improve clarity and to avoid the reflexes on the watches dial:
View media item 12650View media item 12649
In doing that I thought to get a 24-120mm to improve the quality of the lens, and to be able to take pictures from further away, also thought to get rid of the LEDs and get two sb700, but since the box is very small and the watch is very close to the lights small I haven't really found a way to avoid the reflections.
Any suggestion on the setup, and on how to avoid reflections will be very appreciated, Please keep in mind though that we need to be mobile, since we go to people's house to take the photos, and travel a lot with the equipment.
Thanks to everyone who will take time to read this,
Iary
