Hello All. I am trying to photograph some coins and medals. The images are to be used as part of the catalogue of a small museum and may at some stage be used on the museum website. I am laying the items on white card and photographing from directly above. The problem is all the images come out with a shadow around the item. I have tried lighting the subject from different angles including from above using a pair of spotlights, a ring light and a combination of both but the shadows are always there. Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of them or at least make them less noticeable? My aim is to make sure the shadow does not distract the viewer from the main subject.
Many thanks
