My son-in-law just launched a startup, Muddy Dog Snacks, featuring top 9 allergen-free, gluten-free, and artificial ingredient-free human treats, protein energy bars, to be more specific. Great taste is included (my grandson loves them).
Usually, online buyers want to see photos of the product they are purchasing, and I was handed the technical responsibility for that job (I know, shocking, but my price was unbeatable). Sam wanted complicated collages included in the mix, and lighting a complicated set can be challenging. Fortunately, the shooting day featured significant cloud cover that created a soft light in the sunroom, which is conveniently located near the kitchen where subject prep was happening.
To help contain the mess and provide a white background with a bit of reflected fill, a 20x20" cyclorama was placed on the floor. The 85mm focal length was optimum for the overhead shot because it provided a great perspective without the need for a ladder, and the relatively high camera position meant the tripod legs were wide at the floor level, which practically eliminated their shadow impact.
With the focal length selected, the lens choice was easy. The Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM Lens is the best available. It provided EOS R5 Mark II image quality good enough for the first billboard.
The Muddy Dog Sir CA Shepherd Cinnamon Apple Energy Bar collage is shown above, and the other 3 optoins are shown below:
