Product Porn

[Matt Jones]

I’m working at the fly shop over the holidays and have access to the entire stock of the store, so I am taking advantage.  The more practice I get the better.  It turns out they actually need some product shots for the online shop, so it worked out!  

I had a ton of fun with this.  I really would like criticism on the composition of the photos.  How could I have placed the product to make the photos better?

SO SEXY!!

Thanks!

I would make an obscene comment, it is appropriate, but not wise…

Just throw that chit in a box and ship it to me! Sweet stuff….and nice job on the photos.

I really prefer the reel in #1 to sit on it’s seat like you did in the Lamson shot….but that’s just me.

Great shots.

Matt –

I think you’ve nailed it.

[john michael white]

The talent on this site never ceases to amaze me.

[Corey Kruitbosch]

Nice job .. Super clean and sharp shots. I’d love to see and hear about your setup also.

It’s difficult to make static objects look sexy. Sometimes, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The good thing is you seem to have used depth-of-field to your advantage. The difficult thing is that a plain white background (which I use a lot for products) can relegate an image – of anything – to the category of “catalog shot”. If that’s what you want, you nailed it. The flavor right now looks to be streamside, young guns, selective focus, extreme conditions – all very difficult to accomplish, and costly to produce.
The trends are easy to spot though – much like the hundreds of covers with young ladies pulling the front of their pants,bikinis,skirts and whatever – down in front with their freshly manicured thumbs.
I ramble,

I just recently bought a new camera and would like a shot at those products, please ship them to me and I will show you what I would do with them and then I will return them to you 😉

I think they look great.

Those are damn good shots Matt.

Great stuff Matt – I’d love to see a pic or diagram of your setup for these.

Matt,

How many people a day handle that Borski reel?

[Shannon Drawe]

You should charge for touching it. Touch it. Touch it. shannon

Looking great Matt. The reels came out great with no hotspots and good detail on the Abel.
