This was not a planned photo at all, that's not to say I would have done it any differently.
I had to purchase some new workwear on my day off. It occurred to me when I unpacked them I should try take a photo of the boot.
No idea what I was thinking with the books as they have no real relevance to Plasterers boots other than I needed to prop the product up.
They were to hand so I used them.
After looking on the web there seems to be loads of advertising type photos of footwear that have elements in the frame that don't really relate to the intended use of the footwear.
Back to the photo.
I think most of you are aware I generally use one light in a softbox plus a reflector. Which I did on this occassion.
Wanting to try and use another light I added this speedlight onto the background from below. I did try it from the right side but couldnt get that to look right.
I took a few photo's with just the softbox and used a piece of light card close up to bounce light into different areas then masked them in after.
Added some contrast in post too.
The background light was a faff really as I had to use a yungnuo trigger in the top of the godox trigger to fire it.
Anyways these boots look worse for wear after a day under the trowel
I am putting this up to ask whether I went about this correctly or not ? Is a softbox the right modifier for this type of product ? Did I over light it ?
