How to Set Up your Light for Product Photography: iPad

by Karl Taylor & Urs Recher

In this episode of our how-to series, Urs Recher and Karl Taylor go through all the problems and solutions when shooting a screen displaying a picture - in this case an iPad.

They demonstrate how to perfectly separate the dark screen from a black background with rim lighting. In addition, they show how they precisely positioned their lamps to create beautiful gradations on the shiny screen. Finally, a long-time exposure makes the picture displayed on the iPad visible in the final photograph.
