Bringing Light Into Focus

For this project, I was tasked with more than just capturing a product. I had to make it belong in its environment. Using a high bay LED fixture as my subject, I combined precision studio photography with advanced photo compositing to create a realistic application image. The result? A seamless visual that helps customers instantly understand the product in context, without ever stepping foot in the warehouse.

  1. Preparation: Both the product and studio environment were thoroughly prepared — the fixture was cleaned, and lighting/backdrops were carefully set for optimal clarity.

  2. Photography: Captured the product from multiple angles using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with a 24–105mm USM lens, Profoto softboxes, and a light table. Focused on minimizing shadows and reflections to ensure clean base images for compositing.

  3. Editing & Cleanup: Imported the best shots into editing software, fine-tuned color, contrast, and exposure, and removed any imperfections or surface flaws.

  4. Masking: Isolated the product from the background using precise masking techniques (pen tool, layer masks) to allow seamless placement in the new environment.

  5. Clone Stamping & Background Editing: Removed the existing light fixture from the application (warehouse) image using the clone stamp tool. Reconstructed the warehouse ceiling with visual consistency in mind — blending technical accuracy with creative finesse.

  6. Compositing: Placed the masked product into the warehouse image, carefully matching the angle, scale, and perspective of the scene for a believable fit.

  7. Color Matching & Final Touches: Adjusted lighting, shadows, and color grading on the product layer to match the ambient environment. The final composite was peer-reviewed to ensure realism and quality.

  8. Export: Delivered the finished high-resolution composite, ready for use in the product’s main photo gallery on the eCommerce site.
