One of my favorite media servers is the Vortexbox which not only streams music and video for you, it also automatically rips CD’s just by sticking them into the drive. When Andrew asked me to shoot the new server line I jumped at the chance. Here are two versions of the shots I put together …
I do really like doing product shots as they are never late, don’t cry, don’t have mothers trying to run the show, etc. As much as I like shooting weddings, I still like going back to my product roots and putting together a shoot for a client. In this case Powermax is launching a new …
If you didn’t know already, I got started in photography by doing product shoots and I still love doing it. Products don’t move, they aren’t late, they don’t get emotional, drunk, or have meltdowns. This week I took some photos of some D-Link equipment for some video tutorials that will appear soon. This is my …
Today I needed to shoot some Digium interface cards for 888VoipStore.com. The challenge was that I wanted to get a vertical shot with a reflection underneath.

We just got in the new Photo Basics StrobeLites to start checking out for an upcoming review that will appear soon on Camera Dojo. So far these monolights seem to be the perfect combination of features and price point. At around $650 for a three light system, this puts high quality lighting into the hands …
I actually got my start doing product photography and still enjoy doing it whenever possible, I actually still do quite a lot and was one of the main reasons for building a home studio. This weekend I got in a small project for VOIPSpeak to shoot a new wireless phone. Nothing overly special but I …
After the last shoot for Fonality, we were asked again to do another product shot for a product manual. This time they didn’t want them with an “artsy” look, they wanted high quality images with a very normal look with all of the products being lit exactly the same and shot at a very low …
The new trixbox appliance is now available and they needed some new pictures right away so it was off to the studio to get some quick shots. Over the weekend I will be doing some more along with some phones that they needed new shots of.
