Glossy, transparent or reflective products are photographed by carefully controlling the light and whatever is mirrored in the surfaces.

Glass, metal and glossy plastic show every reflection: that is why set and lighting are designed before the shoot and the image is refined in post-production. We work from Cantù, in the province of Como, for companies in Brianza and Milan.

Difficult surfaces

How we approach each material

Every surface requires a different approach.

  • Glass and transparency: readable outlines and light passing through the object
  • Polished metals: controlled reflections without unwanted marks
  • Plastics and paints: faithful colours and clean surfaces
  • Details and engravings: raking light to highlight the workmanship

The number of photos per product depends on the complexity of the object and the channel where it will be shown: main view, angles, details, use. For companies in Como and Brianza we define the shot list at quote stage.

To get consistent photos for a catalogue you need shared rules: the same light, framing, background and colour treatment for every product. In Cantù we set them in the brief and apply them in shooting and post-production, for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.

A shoot of many products requires planning, a shot list, a repeatable set and an orderly workflow from shooting to post-production. In Cantù we handle it independently for companies in Como and Brianza with large ranges; timing and quantities are agreed in the quote.

To reuse a shoot across several channels, the uses are planned before shooting: framings with space for text, horizontal and vertical versions, formats prepared in post-production. We set it up this way for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.

For a fast website, photos are exported at the sizes actually needed, with balanced compression, modern formats and descriptive file names. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we develop websites on an enterprise CMS and prepare the images for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.
