As I searched for a subject to photograph with different angles and perspectives my thoughts went to product photography. I remembered a watch I owned that tended to bring a lot of attention because of it’s bold appearance. While I used a model for the shoot with the watch I kept his face out of the pictures to bring more focus to the product. the shoot required me to find different ways to show off the product and using different angles did the trick.

I blended the two above images in photoshop. I created a background copy and blurred the wood. With the texture image I used a mask to make the watch appear above it. I decreased the opacity of the texture slightly as well as burned and dodged to create highlights and shadows. I applied gaussian blur to the texture and with a mask I created a sense of depth of field to make it more realistic.

Brooks, you are a beast. I’m pretty sure some high end company needs to hire you because your photos on this one are incredible! My favorite picture is the largest one on the left in your collage. Perfect balance, perfect lighting, just awesome. My pictures are no where near yours but check mine out. https://joshuamillerproductions.wordpress.com/2016/05/17/blog-5-composition-perspective-of-12/

These look so crazy professional, you did an amazing job! I love the interesting subject you chose and all the different perspectives look great. The one where you put in the different texture also looks awesome, it looks totally realistic. Everything looks like it came straight out of a real magazine ad, so cool!

Good Lord these are so good. Not only are the photographs great but the collage is awesome too. I feel like this is the double spread in GQ or something. So friggin good! Good use of the area around you without showing too much background where we get sick of the I-Center. Genius!
Check out my page… even though you already did.
