Sometimes you can set up a simple lighting solution to make your detail and overall shots look professionally lit. However, with larger products a simple lighting solution doesn't always work, and you must be prepared to modify or change your lighting for different surface textures or colors of your subject matter.

Topics Covered:
- Creating wrap-around light
- Creating a warm fill
- The importance of shooting detail shots
Equipment Used:
 Figure 1 |
We first set up a Small SilverDome (Small Starlite Kit) with a 500 watt bulb to the left of the guitar, up high and aiming slightly down. |
 Figure 3 |
Next we set up a Medium SilverDome (Medium Starlite Kit) with a 1000 watt bulb in it, in the same place. |
 Figure 4 |
This is the result. The larger softbox provides a light source that covers the size of our product better. |
 Figure 5 |
We added a 39"x72" aluminum Photoflex LitePanel frame for a warm fill on the right. The LitePanel was attached to a Photoflex 2218 LiteStand with a Photoflex Main & T clamp. |
 Figure 7 |
To get a detail shot of the product, we placed the Small SilverDome with the Starlite and the 500 watt bulb overhead on a Photoflex boom and BoomStand. |
