Sharpics, Inc., a leading source for product photography, introduces its Complete Tabletop Studios as the ideal solution for achieving professional product images. Designed for do-it-yourself product photographers, Sharpics products are ideal for online auction sites, e-commerce websites, insurance claims, appraisals, home and office inventories, estate planning and more.
The key elements for creating great product photos include an easy to set-up background, daylight-balanced lighting, and stabilizing the camera. The Complete Tabletop Studios feature the D-Flector Portable Photo Studio, a Compact Light Kit and the Tabletop Monopod – all the necessary components to achieve great results in a compact size for home or office use.
The D-Flector is a portable photo studio that resembles a brief case that quickly unfolds into a tabletop background stand to support the product photography needs of everyone from professional to novice photographers. Available in two sizes: 20”Wx32” and 30”Wx40”, the D-Flector contains three seamless backgrounds in reflective silver, matte white and black.
Until now, professional grade lighting has typically taken up a great deal of floor space. The Compact Light Kit sits on the table making it easy to position lighting for small to medium sized products. Floor standing lighting lacks agility for tabletop photography applications. The bulbs include two 30-watt compact fluorescent bulbs. The bulbs are “daylight-balanced” at 5000 Kelvin and 2000 lumens for maximum output. Daylight color lighting provides a better contrast for products you photograph. The two 30-watt bulbs illuminate light equivalent to a 240 watt household incandescent bulbs. Not only do they offer a bright output, they are both cool and energy efficient.
The tabletop monopod provides a stable platform for the camera to eliminate blurry. Unlike a tripod, it provides room to work without taking up floor space. Its compact and sturdy design clamps directly onto a table with many adjustable features found on most tripods without the legs. As an added benefit, it can also be used as a copy stand for overhead shots. The monopod is perfect for getting the sharpest picture possible.
