CERAMICS
Stoneware, bone china, matt and gloss glazes... no product type as such diverse surface textures than ceramics. You may have mugs, bowls and other tableware or standalone decorative art pieces, vases or wall hangings.
Preparing
Check your work before packing to spot marks/cracks, these can avoided at shoot, depending on size.
Aside from the protective packaging, please ensure you bring cleaning suitable cloths/sprays to remove marks.
Shooting high gloss products such as bone china, is about managing the shadow and highlights in the best way. This will take some testing initially, but once we have the setup we can shoot more quickly.
Create a shot list and include details you need to capture, i.e. maker's mark or handles/rims/glaze details.
