[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 496674, member: 9240"] Product shots are product shots. "Tricky" shouldn't factor into the cost when it means "trial and error" on the part of the photographer to reduce or eliminate something a more experienced photographer knows how to do off the bat. Why should they pay you more than someone who knows how to do it? Just food for thought, not a poke. You can take it as a learning experience that you got paid for, or do some research up front to eliminate as much of the "error" from your "trial" as you can. Some things demand a proper studio environment where light can be eliminated everywhere but where it's wanted, and focused precisely as needed for the effect you want. This calls for a combination of very diffused light (very large whitebox, bouncing off the ceiling and walls, etc.) as well as something to add highlights as desired. [/QUOTE]
