Products that zzzzzzzzzzing

In product photography, space is always at a premium. I tend to photograph products stripped of all non-essentials, as in these examples of vintage radios from my books. Lighting is carefully controlled. My philosophy is that when viewed “live” one can turn objects from side to side to illuminate the dark recesses and minimize glare. The reader can’t do that, but through careful retouching I attempt to provide that experience even while limited to a single view.
