The Photo
Table
This (apparently) simple,
but surprisingly ingenious Photo Table is one of the most amazingly
helpful pieces of photographic equipment ever invented for the
photographer who ever has a regular need to photograph small
items or objects!
This innovative piece of equipment allows us to make some amazingly
creative and visually arresting photographs of ordinary items.
First, it lets us set up and start working quickly and easily.
Next, it's almost infinitely adjustable, so we can change it
whenever we want. And, it holds paper rolls as well as with any
Diffuser Acrylic Background (a sort of a translucent, white plastic
material you use for the background of the objects you're photographing,
and which can be made to appear almost any color or shade you
like, simply by lighting it from the rear with a strobe or hot
light with a color filter over it. This technique also adds a
background "glow" that looks fabulous! This is especially
wonderful when photographing glass or plastic objects.
Basically, this is a product photographer's dream; you can do
a whole catalogue's worth of items in a single day, and also
make the background or product's "surroundings" look
either completely consistent, or amazingly different just by
changing color gels over your background light. As you can see,
this is sort of a combination product table and background stand,
so by curving the background paper/plastic you eliminate the
horizon, just as you can with a backdrop stand setup. All in
all, a wonderfully helpful system for both efficiency and (more
importantly) creativity! Yet another "secret" why the
pros can do such great work: they have the right tools for the
job! AND, they can CONTROL THE LIGHT! Try it, you'll like it.
ESPECIALLY at this low, low price! This item is the photo table
frame, as illustrated; however, it does not include the
paper rolls or diffuser acrylic (which are available at almost
any photo store or photographic supplier).
