This week's challenge is...
Sunglasses
With 45 weeks of challenges behind us, things aren’t getting any easier, and this week we’re challenging you to photograph sunglasses.
These reflective products, with their curved shapes and multi-textural surfaces, can be tricky to photograph, but the good news is that you don’t need to be a pro or have a lot of equipment to get good results.
If you have a good understanding of light, a couple of studio lights, a tripod, diffusion material, and some reflectors, then you’ll be able to do this week’s challenge.
Keep in mind the basics of product photography this week: analyse the product to determine the best features and shooting angle; choose the right lens (use extension tubes if you need to); fix your camera on a tripod; and use mirrors, reflectors or flags if you need additional lighting control.
Below are a few classes that may help with this week’s challenge.

Thank you for responding.
I uploaded my picture but it never show up in the gallery. Maybe I did something wrong? And I’m wandering if it well be some criticism video or not?
Hi fotobostoncom, thanks for taking part in this Weekly Challenge! We’ll be adding all of the submitted pictures to the gallery today. We don’t offer critiques for these challenges I’m afraid, but you should check out our Upcoming Live Workshops to submit your work for our next themed critique.
Best wishes,
Ben
