Product Photography for Flatties.co.uk

On Friday I tried my hand at some product photography for flatties.co.uk

Flatties produce Vinyl and Urban Toys/Art and have been working on a project called ‘Codename Babushka,’ where they have, with several well known artists, created a series of interesting matryoshka dolls which are for sale on their website. Here’s some of the highlights:

Lessons learnt: check your sensor is clean first by taking a long exposure at a small aperture on a neutral background. Annoyingly, I had lots of spots on the clean white backdrop which I had to remove in Photoshop. I think this was from my beach/desert honeymoon 😉
