Studio setup, prepared to photograph Seiko LC Quartz James Bond watch with Lotus Esprit model
In response to a growing number of requests for studio photography setup images, I’ve started to use the James Bond Watches flickr account to take periodic looks “behind the scenes.”
Final, processed images, then, will continue only to appear on the James Bond Watch Photos site. When release dated are set, I’ll try to update the flickr image with that information.
Meantime, today the image is of a Seiko model DK001, case number 0674-5009 LC Quartz. Roger Moore wore a similar LCD digital as James Bond in the Eon Productions 007 movie, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).
Several years ago, I made an image of my Omega 2531.80 Seamaster with a 1:18-scale model of the Aston Martin from Die Another Day. Although I’ve used a highly-stylized (severe contrast) snippet from that in various places as an icon, I didn’t actually release the full image until early last month. On my birthday.
Notwithstanding similarities in basic concept, translating that low-key approach experience to the Seiko Quartz LC 0674 James Bond watch and white 1:18-scale Lotus Esprit model was a very different proposition. Anticipating this, I’d scheduled half-a-day in the studio for this work today.
That said, the image continue reading…
