My attempt at imitating IWC

For this shot I was inspired by the official IWC photo's. Their photographer is so good at creating mood shots. Here is my attempt:

Well done. That's a beautiful photograph. The strap is a nice combination with the Inge.

I love the brown strap black dial look. Nice photo!

That's a great picture. Very nice combination of the Vintage Inge with that brown strap....

Lovely picture Dimer, very well done!

Kind regards,

So whats the secret to the lighting technique ? It's an absolute brilliant photo.....

That's a beautiful photograph, Dimer!

Thanks all!

The 'secret' was the light from behind. In my first attempts I only lit the watch from the front/above. This made the background very dark and didn't give me the mood I wanted. Then I remembered a photograph/portrait where the photographer faked sunlight from a window with his flash. So I grabbed a second strobe and placed it behind the watch and also placed a bottle of wine and a wineglass and aimed the strobe at the glass. The image immediately came to life. The light reflected beautifully in the wineglass and created great bokeh.

terrific picture!

Wow, great composition! Love the colour combinations.

Groet,
