Some of you know I work for a major US sporting goods retailer. My day job is to photograph higher end firearms like this $13000 Perazzi shotgun.

This type of product photography isn't too artistic but it is challenging. The biggest challenge is the lighting. I'm shooting surfaces that shine and tend to reflect and wash out. Getting the shadowing in the bottom of the engraving so you can see it makes life interesting. I didn't pick the background ... I kind of don't like the color. Of course here I'm just trying to represent the product so someone will buy it.

Oh yeah I'm still shooting pictures everyday, just not always posting them here.
