How can I keep a consistent background without a lot of manual hassle?
Pic 1 is what I’m aiming for. Pic 2 and 3 are my pics. I’m trying to create a website for my products, but the background keeps changing brightness levels, presumably because the steel on bracelets reflect light better than a dark coloured strap?
For context, I’m using a Sony A7C with Sony FE 90mm F2.8 G OSS lens. I have a soft box and put the watch in a white box with a reflective card on the opposite side. I use manual camera settings to keep everything consistent.
I’ve started using photoshop for focus blending and would appreciate some guidance on how to keep the background consistent, but keeping the shadows visible. Given that I’ll be listing many items, and several angles of the same item, is there a way to make it streamlined like Pic 1? I feel like I’ve tried most things at this point but it’s incredibly time consuming - surely there’s a quick way?
Thanks in advance (I’m a complete novice with a camera so please excuse my awful explanation).
