Thanks everyone for the feedback. The product is with me and i guess i will do a reshot as the bottom is not easy to mask out.
My client want a clean white bg. . So no matter wad i use will have some form of texture.
Base on the photo i post, i think you guys sld be able to tell i do not have proper equipment.
It's taken on chairs with white clothes. I think later i try black clothes with lighting from the front to achieve better contrast so easier to crop.
Anyone got any better suggestion for me to achieve better contrast frm the same angle so that cropping will be easy?
It's my opinion it's doable to mask/lasso. You can be less exact at the bottom. Anyway the better method is to etch slightly into the product, it's so
you won't be left with a halo and can "remove" specific bits and pieces to reshape the product for a more atheistic appearance. Don't have to follow ridge by ridge.
But if you want to reshoot also can, use white or light grey paper/art card as bg instead, and have a couple of bounce cards at the side. It'll help to reflect light to the bottom.
throw you a free tip. When you need to
etch a product it's best to use light grey coloured bg. Light grey is not usually used as a product colour hence mostly likely to form a good contrast against
any product. Other good things with grey is it's mid tone and won't add color cast. Just have to take note that when any light hits the bg, the colour will lighten and so,
if your product has grey or white tones, use a darker grey to compensate.
Don't use black, you will reflect black into the product or some people like to say "it's eating the light" then you need to pump even more light or compensate with higher ISO (no good!).
Also, how to solve the bottom part which is in shadow if your bg is black? Making it worst right? Reflecting black is a special technique in product photography, not used in this method.
