We took this very well made Ford Cobra model car that retails for $65.00, and imagined that we were going to sell it on the Internet in our model car business' web site or on an auction site such as eBay.

Topics Covered:
- Setting up a main light
- Adding a fill light
Equipment Used:
 Figure 1 |
We began this shot by mounting a Medium SilverDome (medium Starlite Kit) with 1000-watt bulb on a Photoflex Boom and placed it directly over the model car. |
 Figure 2 |
We angled the SilverDome toward the front and lowered it down close to the cobra. This will keep the light off the background and make it go dark. |
 Figure 4 |
We placed a Starlite Small Digital Kit with a 500-watt bulb to the left to fill in the light on the front of the car. |
 Figure 5 |
We moved the SilverDome in close to get the right amount of light that we wanted. |
 Figure 6 |
The result shows more detail on the front of the Cobra, but we still have slight shadows on the side to give the Cobra depth and dimension. |
 Figure 7 |
With the SilverDomes in the same position, we turned the model to take a few photos of different positions. |
 Figure 8 |
We turned the model again and took another shot. |
|
With the final lighting set up established, you can shoot as many photos as you need to show the features of your product. In this case, we can show how the doors and hood can open. |
