Behind the Scenes: Blue and White Spring Vases Flower Shoot

I always find it interested to know exactly what is going on behind the scenes. They say, "a pictures is worth a thousand words," but pictures can be deceiving. Porcelain very rarely looks as beautiful in pictures as it does in real-life. If a piece of porcelain is glazed or not it will affect the way that it throws light. Because so much of porcelain is white, if the light is more yellow instead of blue, it picks up these nuances very easily, and the photograph comes out looking dirty or dark. Since we know photographs are paintings of light, this can make it very tricky. Too much light and the glare of the porcelain will wash the whole photograph out.
