page 127 photographing your own work
UnderConsiderationA graphic design enterprise that runs a network of blogs, publishes books, organizes live events and judged competitions, designs for clients, and author of this book, underconsideration is constantly photographing their work to put up for online purchases and to document the materials produced for their events.
www.underconsideration.com
As the in-house photographer, I—Armin Vit—have pretty much learned on the go how to photograph design work. I had some photography classes in college but we never learned to do studio shots so everything I have learned has been from trial and error and, perhaps most oddly, from having played with 3D rendering programs years ago since you have to set lighting sources in that environment. This is what I have managed to figure out over the years and perhaps it will inspire you to find your own way.

early years
Since 2006 we have had the same camera: an entry-level Canon EOS Digital Rebel and have slowly upgraded the photographic accoutrements over the years. I started taking photos of design stu� in a small table-top light booth, which was great for small things like business cards and letterhead but photographing the spread of a book was impossible. As a beginner’s tool, though, it was fantastic as it provided a simple, compact, and very controlled environment where I could take basic photos straight-on. The thin fabric on the sides served as a wonderful di�user for the really yellow light bulbs I was using at the time and I was able to get very nice, soft photos. I highly recommend this as a starting point.
I have never been able to get good photographs with natural light. I have tried sunny days, cloudy days, foggy days, and in every hour of the day possible. Somehow I never get the shadows that I want or the colors that I expect. Not to mention that the wind is always blowing letterheads away. Some people swear by natural light photographs and I’m sure it can be done—I will not be the one providing any words of wisdom about it.
first upgrade
My next step was buying white and black fabric to use as seamless backdrops so that I could photograph bigger objects and to be able to shoot at angles. The table-top light box is not seamless on the sides and it’s a whole other kind of light that you get if you catch the side walls in the frame of the photo. Back to the fabric: the fabric provides a cool, soft texture but—guess what?—every time you fold it to put it away it creases and you have to iron it with every use. It became a real pain to do this, but the pro was that it was easy to store. With the fabric I would lock myself in the window-less bathroom and anchor the fabric on the edge of the bathtub dropping onto the floor creating the seamless e�ect. At this point I also started using some more hardcore light bulbs that would heat up like crazy and would make the bathroom unbearably hot in summer days, even with the air conditioner at full blast. Nonetheless, these light bulbs (specified in the gear list above) have been the best I’ve ever used. They are very bright and are the least yellow I’ve found. They cast a very strong, “hot” spot so I bought some
di�users to attach to the lamps and these soften the light a lot like the table-top box.
Another important purchase was an outer flash for the camera (also specified in the gear list). I never use it as a party-like photo flash where you direct it at the subject and it lights up all white. I must have read somewhere that the trick is to point it upwards and a little bit backwards so that it fills the area around the subject with a nice, white blast. It works particularly good in small-ish rooms where the light of the flash bounces o� the walls.
So, with the seamless background, the hot-ass lamps, the flash, and some patience I took probably two or three years worth of photographs using this set up. Photos came out nice. It was easy to position lights and eventually I became pretty good at Photoshopping out the creases in the fabric. The trick for me here was that I was able to block out all natural light and focus on the light generated by the lamps.
lamp placement
I’m sure I would benefit from taking a course or watching some online tutorials or something but I place my lamps in pretty ambiguously helpful spots and heights. I first think about where I want my main shadow to be: if I want an object to cast a shadow on the bottom and to
