Composition – Perspective of 12

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.

Texture from www.textures.com

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.
