taking photos of soap
January 26, 2007
Yesterday afternoon, I photographed glycerin soaps. This is difficult to do without an assistant. Once I set up the tray with water in it, I wanted lots of suds.
Glycerin soap doesn’t lather up very well. I had a bowl of water and several towels nearby. By the time I got all five bars sudsed up, my hands dried and the image focused, the top bar’s bubbles would disappear.
This took lots more time that I thought it would. But I did get a few shots, and wound up smelling very, very good the rest of the day.
If you like the photo, there are lots more over at LuckyOliver.com (shameless plug).
