Needless to say, there is no room for inaccuracy, particularly when that inaccuracy is sheer laziness on the photographer's part. This is even more crucial when the product is in the fashion arena and the colors are not only carefully selected in the design phase, they are often thematic and part of a brand's identity. Anyone working with any sort of product photography will tell you of the essential nature of accurate colors colors that have been very carefully chosen by the design team of that product. However, no purchase in my career has had a more important impact on my work.Ī large portion of my work for several years has been commercial photography, with a strong focus on watches.
Nevertheless, parting with my case to buy one of these little robots was neither exciting nor welcome. I love Datacolor and their Spyder range is for all intents and purposes the industry standard for anyone working with colors on a monitor. I furrowed my brow and debated a print error before dejectedly placing it in my loft, where it remains in the dark a lonely relic of my days uncalibrated.Īs the years rolled on, I realized the error of my ways and begrudgingly invested in a Datacolor Spyder5. That'd have been ideal had my foreground been grass, but it wasn't, it was rapeseed which is yellow. It was underexposed by about a stop (a problem for another article), but worse, the foreground was green. It arrived at my front door and I excitedly de-robed it to marvel at its beauty in physical form.
I researched the best print company to go with and separated with my hard earned coins to have my artwork made. So much so, I decided to have it printed for my dear Mother who had told me how much she'd like it on her wall. I maintain the image is unambiguously crap, but at the time I was pleased with the photograph and elated with the recognition. Early on in my photographic endeavors, when I was armed with a Canon Rebel XT and a kit lens, I took a landscape which Flickr made their homepage image for a week.
