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!

Check my other auctions for some great pro strobes to go with this wonderful photo table.

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!
