watch photography
In this personal project, I explored the concept of suspending a product in mid-air while maintaining a natural and believable look. The goal was to emphasize the beauty of the watch while creating a unique visual effect. I used a hard continuous light source to cast a sharp shadow, creating concentric circles reminiscent of a target, symbolizing precision and focus. The lighting was carefully crafted to enhance the watch’s intricate mechanical details while ensuring it remained the focal point of the composition. The final image was achieved through focus stacking and meticulous post-processing in Photoshop, combining several elements to create a striking and dynamic result.
