Custom Knife Product Shot

DaddyO

Doing some photos for a fine custom knife maker. Heres one of his knives.
Getting the picture is easy enough. Making it pop per image is quite another.

Being a former collecor, I like this! Especially the designs in the folds of the steel blade.

Awesome knife. Is the background too white though?

It is a cool knife. Hmmm... too white. You know I hadn't been looking at it
as too white. But there certainly is the chance of it.
What I can surely see from here on my laptop to this post is the white
background is two different shades!
Need to figure out how to get the white and pop the same to each
knife photo. So far doing so is driving me flipping NUTS.

Being a collector then you know how they got there. I guess it is quite the
process to accomplish the task. Like you I really like the patterns in the
folds.

Background to stark, takes my attention away from that
very cool lookin knife.

Is that a Damascus fold that causes the patterns ??

It is Damascus construction. Very appealing look.

Nice to get your feedback.

I guess cheap white sets don't cut it. Need to go Hollywood.

My brother is a custom knife maker and I've been bugging him for years to let me shoot a few of his knives. I think you did an excellent job. I don't know about the white background as already mentioned. I don't know if I could have done any better.
