Hello,
I work at a music store and we have quite a bit of pianos and we need to get better photos. I understand photography and how the camera works, I would consider myself intermediate. The issue is how do I take photos of pianos, both grands and uprights? We have a wide variety, some are satin (somewhat like a matte finish) and polish (which reflects a lot).
We only have one camera here and it's a Sony DSC-H5, which I am sure is no good for taking photos of pianos. Plus I think the sensor is dying.
I have a spot I could maybe set a backdrop up with lighting, I just need some advice on what to do with all of this and maybe a camera that would do well (maybe a lens too?).
So in a nutshell, looking for advice on setup (backdrop? lighting?), camera, and/or lens.
Thanks,
Erik
