Shots of my Sub
I have been working on different set ups for photographing watches. Here are some shots from last night and I’ve added an extra BTS shot.

These were taken using a Sony A7III, Sony 50mm 1.8, F10, iso 250 and 1.6 sec.

What’s your lighting source? Looks like tablets. You’ll have to explain how the booze helps as well

As far as lighting, It was two iPads with white background and brightness maxed. I had to come up with it on the fly since my aperture light batteries were dead. Needless say it was effective. As far as the booze, I was initially going to do a watch shot with whiskey but I ended up liking the shot without it so it turned into a refreshment The bottle is holding both tablets

Its actually a cutting board so. It was intentional but I will experiment with different locations. Thanks

You could also experiment with a small white reflector card to reflect some light back to the bottom of the picture as well.

@OP Excellent tastes...not just the watch.

IMO the Submariner is the best looking tool watch, I wears them more often than any other.
