The
Photo Table
(The Product Photographer's
Dream come true!)
A Great Time Saver and
Creative Aid!
The Fabulous Photo
Table! Every product photographer's
Dream Come True! |
|
And nowadays, everyone in any
online business is a product photographer! |
| The dimensions are (and remember,
all can be adjusted): Table Height: 2.4 ft; Table's Back Height:
5.2 ft (back also tilts); Table's "seat" (sort of if
it were a chair): 3.2' x 2.5' and the Photo Table takes down
quickly and easily, and can be reassembled in minutes if you
have to take it on location (or store it in your closet whenever
the spouse wants the living room back :). It weighs about 24
lbs, and don't forget the FREE Custom Carrying case! |

The Phabulous Photo
Table
This (apparently) simple,
but surprisingly ingenious Photo Table is one of the most helpful
pieces of photographic equipment available to the photographer
who has a need to photograph small to medium size items or objects!
This innovative photo tanle allows us to make some amazingly
creative and visually arresting photographs of ordinary items.
First, it lets us set up and start working quickly and easily.
Next, it's almost infinitely adjustable, so we can change it
whenever we want. And, it holds all sorts of backgrounds; muslins,
canvas, paper rolls as well as any Diffuser Acrylic Background
(a sort of a translucent, white plastic material you use for
the background of the objects you're photographing, and which
can be made to appear almost any color or shade you like, simply
by lighting it from the rear with a light with a color filter
over it. This technique also adds a background "glow"
that looks fabulous! This is especially wonderful when photographing
glass or plastic objects, by lighting from below - see the "technique"
section below).
Basically, this is a product photographer's dream; you can do
a whole catalogue's worth of items in a single day, and also
make the background or product's "surroundings" look
either completely consistent, or amazingly different just by
changing paper rolls, or lighting white paper differently, or
using color gels over your background light(s). As you can see,
this is sort of a combination product table and background stand,
so by curving the background, you eliminate the horizon, just
as you can with a backdrop stand setup. All in all, a wonderfully
helpful system for both efficiency and (more importantly) creativity!
Yet another "secret" why the pros can do such great
work: they have the right tools for the job! AND, they can CONTROL
THE LIGHT! Try it, you'll like it. ESPECIALLY at this low, low
price!
|
| IMPORTANT: Please be
aware that this setup is the photo table FRAME, as illustrated; it does not include
the paper rolls or background material (which are available
at almost any photo store, hobby store, art store. or photographic
supplier), and there is no shelf included (if it was a chair,
the "seat" would not be included). I had a piece of
plywood cut to size, to use as the shelf. I also drilled a hole
in the center of the plywood shelf, which I use to shine a light
through from the bottom for "glowing" glass and translucent
objects. See the "technique" section below for more
on this subject. But to reiterate, the Photo Table consists of
the frame only, not the background material or seat. These are
shown in the pictures for illustration only. Thanks for understanding. |

Are you an online seller?
Do you sell on eBay or any of the other
auction sites? Do you have a web site? If so, you already know
that the better your products look, the more you'll sell!
You have already learned (or surmised) that the most important
aspect of a successful online enterprise is: 1) a good
image will sell more product than a poor image will. 2)
A GREAT image (or, better yet, MANY great images) will sell MANY
more products, etc. That's the first big hump (so to speak) to
get over, and you already have (because you're here, reading
this). You know you need to make your products look great in
order to succeed. Good. If you sell products, this Photo Table,
a few lights, and a little time and effort learning how to use
them will allow you to make your products look GREAT! The same
is true if you're a product photographer; you have to make your
clients' products look great. This Photo Table will help you
succeed. For about what you'd spend on a dinner in a nice restaurant,
you can own one of these dynamite Photo Tables. Think about it.
But don't take too long; there are lots of competitors out there,
and he who makes their products look best, will sell more. Of
course, the choice is all yours. Right?
|
| Technique: Another
great suggestion regarding photographing glassware (or any transparent,
semi-transparent, or translucent objects): Yes, glass is a difficult
subject to properly photograph (especially clear glass objects),
but it can be done with a little equipment - like this Photo
Table (and a little creativity). A GREAT technique to use to
make any glass or translucent objects look truly magnificent
and visually striking, when using the photo table, is to place
your glass object right over the hole (drilled through the shelf)
or use a piece of transparent or translucent plastic or Plexiglas
for the shelf, and light it from below! The light shining up
through the hole (or the Plexiglas) will make the glass object
"glow" beautifully (here, though, you might want to
consider using a black background, and let it underexpose to
pure, pitch black; the "glowing" glass object will
appear to "float" in space, and can look pretty damn
fantastic (when done properly)! If you add a color filter (just
a piece of colored cellophane or plastic) over the light shining
up from the bottom of this setup, you can give it (your glass
or plastic object) lovely colorful highlights that will just
amaze the viewers! Using 2 or 3 different colors can add some
really dramatic highlights! Of course, with the Photo Table,
you can even do this with "regular" lights to get an
idea of what amazing effects can be accomplished, although professional
lighting will give you far more creative options. The photo table
is easy and convenient to break down, and fits into its custom
carrying case when you need to take it on location and make the
pictures at your client's warehouse - or stash it in the closet
when the spouse want's the living room back. ;-) Thanks
for viewing this listing, and be sure to check out my other listings and auctions for lotsa
great photographic equipment! And remember, half the battle is
having the right equipment for the job. And for less than the
cost of a dinner in a nice restaurant, this is one deal that
really can't be beat! |

| Note: Sometimes
item numbers or minor appearance differences may change, or new
models replace older ones, as manufacturers alter, improve, and
update equipment, etc.; items listed herein are subject to change
and updates (but any changes or replacements will be with items
of equal or greater capabilities - just check my feedback and you'll see). Usually,
when manufacturers replace an older item or model of equipment
(that may be listed in an auction kit) with a newer, superior
model, I'll ship you the newer and more capable upgraded item
- at no additional cost, of course - even if the new model is
priced higher than the one illustrated in the auction or package
listing (mostly, newer models are priced a bit higher than the
older ones they replace). Being human (yes, believe it or not,
most photographers are human:), sometimes a typographical
error might creep into the descriptions somewhere, and, of course,
we are not responsible for, nor bound by such errors; please
forgive any mistakes which, while uncommon, sometimes happen
(I actually did make a mistake once - I think it was some
time back in the '80s;). Illustrations and photos my vary in
minor ways from actual items, and pictures of kits may not always
show every item that's included, or may show something that's
no longer included, so be sure to review the listing carefully.
Thanks for understanding. |

Details, details, details....
· First, Thank You for your time and interest,
and thanks for viewing my auctions; I'll always do my best to
deserve your business and your confidence by being as fair and
honorable as possible. Now on to the details:
· All payments must be in US dollars, and
all checks drawn on a US bank.
· All orders from Canada, Puerto Rico,
Alaska, Hawaii, and any other countries MUST include your phone
number, or it cannot be shipped.
· Orders from Puerto Rico, Alaska, and
Hawaii can ONLY be shipped via UPS Second Day Air or Next Day
Air, so be sure to include the appropriate shipping charges or
your order will be delayed. Shipping charges for APO and FPO
addresses will be substantially higher than those listed. Please
e-mail me for a shipping quote.
· While personal and business checks are
welcome, it will delay shipment of your order by 5-12 BUSINESS
days.
· Lots of local folks ask about visiting
my store, or picking up their order personally; this won't work
because I don't have a store (that's how I can sell this brand
new equipment for such low prices - I don't have to support an
expensive retail store and a bunch of employees), and the warehouse
does not allow individual pickups (it's not in Los Angeles anyway).
· While I don't ship to foreign countries
(outside of Canada), if you arrange for an international freight
carrier to pick up of your order, I'll be glad to pack it up
and have it waiting for pickup by your shipping company.
· Being human (yeah, believe it or not),
I might even make a mistake (yes, as hard as it may be to believe,
I actually did make a mistake once - I think it was back in '80s
:), and if I ever do again, I'll make it right just as soon as
I realize it; so please don't hesitate to let me know if I mess
up somewhere - I'll do whatever it takes to make you a happy
camper.
· If you should ever be tempted to leave
negative feedback for me, PLEASE contact me first (and give me
some time to reply); I'll offer the same courtesy for you. Also,
please understand that it is absolutely impossible to please
EVERYBODY! Just check my feedback, and you'll see that thousands
and thousands of my (cherished) eBay customers are absolutely
thrilled with their purchases (and thousands more non-eBay customers,
too) - but very rarely, every now and then, someone pops up who
is absolutely impossible to please! But I have no doubt that
any fair-minded individual will see through those kinds of folks,
and realize that pleasing way, way, over 99% of everybody
is about as good as it ever gets.
· If you send me an e-mail and don't receive
a response within a couple of business days (give me a little
more time during holiday periods), please re-send it. I receive
over 1,000 (yes, one thousand) e-mail messages every week, and
do my best to keep up, but there's only one of me, so have some
pity. ALSO, Lately, I've been having trouble with many customers'
"spam blockers" - as described below - so please add
my e-mail address - photosource3@pss3.com - to your phone book
or unblock it in some other manner right away. |
| · You
are REQUIRED to be absolutely, positively, 100% THRILLED with
your order as well as my customer service! You have no choice in the matter, so give up any
foolish notions you might have about not being 100% happy. So
there! Seriously, though, I'll do my very best to assure that
you're always 100% satisfied with our transaction(s), and please
don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything else I can
do to make your purchase - and your photography and/or videography
- as enjoyable and as satisfying as possible. Please realize
that I'm not some huge corporation, trying to squeeze every last
cent of profit out of their customers; I'm just a regular person
(like you, perhaps) who is doing his very best to help you improve
your photography/videography, and to deserve your business and
your trust by being as honest, fair, and honorable as I possibly
can. Thanks for viewing this auction, it is appreciated. Take
care, be happy, give those you love lotsa hugs, and always keep
your camera handy!. |
IMPORTANT:
I know we all hate the
"spam" that fills our In boxes, and we need spam blockers
(also known as "junk mail" filters) to filter out at
least SOME of these annoying messages - BUT - these spam blockers
often block important messages as well as spam emails. So to
assure that you will receive messages about your orders, if you
place a bid on ANY of my auctions, or ask me a question via e-mail,
PLEASE add my e-mail address to your phone book (or un-block
it in any other manner) RIGHT NOW:
PhotoSource3@pss3.com - so my messages will reach you. This
is especially important for folks who use AOL! What kinds
of messages will I need to send you? E-mails that let you know
you won an auction; e-mails to inform you your payment(s) were
received; e-mails to tell you when your order will ship; e-mails
that provide you with tracking numbers for your orders, and similar
types of important messages. Lately, many of my (wonderful and
cherished) customers have been sending me increasingly worried
(and sometimes even somewhat angry) messages asking why I have
not responded to their inquiries and questions (like: "Did
you receive my payment?" and "did you ship my order?"
and "Why won't you answer my e-mails?").
I ASSURE you, my most precious photographic friends - I ALWAYS
keep my customers informed, and I reply to ALL my customers'
messages. But unless you add my e-mail address - PhotoSource3@pss3.com
- to your address book or UN-block my e-mail address another
way, your "Junk Mail" blocker may NOT allow my messages
to get to you! Especially
bad on this situation is AOL! Why
are my e-mails being blocked? Because spam blockers look for
words commonly used in spam e-mails, like: "Congratulations"
(as in: congratulations, you won an auction), and "Brand
New," and "Guaranteed," and "How to pay;"
and "Where to go to find" setup instructions for your
new purchase, and similar words. And now many e-mail message
with any links in them will cause it to be blocked as well (and
I always give my customers links to important pages on my web
site like instructions on how to set up the equipment, and links
to free photographic tips and educational material. So if you
want to communicate with me, please UNBLOCK MY E-MAIL ADDRESS
NOW! Thanks for understanding.
ALERT:
Please understand, I do not have the time
to reply to automatic e-mail messages sent by a computer
asking me to open a web browser, then follow a link to a web
page where I must enter my email address yet again, re-enter
my name, enter a message explaining why you should allow my e-mail
to reach you, and copy an arcane security code into a form just
so my e-mails can reach you! I invest a lot of time and effort
to keep you updated on your order, and answering your questions.
I have thousands of customers, and if I have to go through all
this extra work, I would not be able to process orders in a timely
fashion for my wonderful customers. If you choose use such a
spam filter, you must also assume the responsibility to unblock
my e-mail address. If you do not, then you will not receive
my e-mails. So please, have a heart and unblock my e-mail address
(PhotoSource3@pss3.com) NOW! And that's all she wrote! |
