Project Overview
Client: Tamarack Technologies
Objective: Develop a specialized studio lighting rig and testing protocol to capture high-quality product photography of dark, reflective equipment, a notoriously challenging subject for standard lighting setups.
Approach
Custom Lighting Rig Development:
Designed a tailored lighting configuration to minimize glare, control reflections, and bring out critical product details.
Incorporated specialty Edison bulbs, strategically placed to create unique highlights and enhance the equipment’s visual depth.
Virtual Photo Studio Tests:
Conducted comprehensive virtual simulations to fine-tune lighting angles, intensity, and color temperature before on-site implementation.
Reduced trial-and-error during the actual shoot, ensuring efficient execution and consistent results.
Client Collaboration:
Provided detailed specifications and guidance for the client’s product team to handle the physical construction and mounting of the lighting rig.
Maintained open communication throughout the installation process, ensuring that the final setup met all visual and technical requirements.
Outcome
The resulting studio environment enabled Tamarack Technologies to capture crisp, compelling product images that accurately represent their dark, reflective equipment. This innovative approach to lighting design and pre-shoot testing elevated their visual assets, ultimately supporting their marketing, documentation, and product presentation needs.
