Product Photography: Roomba 560 series
Practicing product photography. This is the 5th Generation Roomba from iRobot.
Strobist info and Setup: Large bathroom window facing north, providing light coming through doorway into bedroom as back light. About 2 feet off of ground, I put a big black flag -- otherwise reflection on top of robot was going to be my bathroom wallpaper. Look in the circular plastic part and you can see what else I used: from left to right there was a large softbox, then the camera, then a big white card, and finally there was a strip box turned on it's side. I color balanced the strobes with 1/2 CT Blue gel. Strobes were White Lighting 1600 and 800.
