please enlighten us on your lightning technique (pun intended!)!

Thanks a lot,
Magnus

Alas....I have a confession to make....while the watches are mine, my photography skills have not improved overnight. I had external help -a friend whose skills are 100 times better than mine.

To answer your question on lighting:

We did not use natural lighting. Instead, we used 3 light sources (lamp or bulb) with white diffusers (like what we typically use in a studio). One diffuser was on top and two at the bottom. Then we adjusted their positions until we get the desired effect (in other words with repeated trial-and-error) using a Nikon D700 camera. At this juncture, photo-editing came into the picture (excuse the pun)...

Please note that I am using the word 'we' very generously.

Cheers

Sam

Truly beautiful watches in that collection. Congratulations. I keep coming back to that 5070 though... just sings at you.

quality photos
Thanks for sharing

I like the IWC Portuguese Automatic 7 days WG picture (and of course the watch too) ... looks like suspending mid-air!

A feast for the eyes. My favourite (picture) is the last one, because it shows the great structure of the grey dial and plays with the sharpness.

Thanks for sharing

Oliver

Not just only the watch, but the magazine quality picture with black croco patterns in the background. Very very executive-looking!

I love your Monard, Sam.  There is something about the shape of the hands on this watch, and the elegant dial with its baton indicators that just hits on all cylinders for me.  The other watches are great, of course, but the Moser is my favorite.

Great photos.  Thanks for sharing!

… the Toledo and the Resonance really appeal to me in these photos. The VC because of the unusual case shape and the Journe because of the dial and hands which your friend has captured beautifully.

 

Thanks again and keep these images coming.
