Dayton Clothing Company Hat Photo Shoot
A few days ago I did a product shoot for local badass clothing designer Alex Dayton. His brand Dayton Clothing Co was launched in 2008 and evolving with each new line.
Tools for the shoot:
Canon 5d Mark ii
Canon 24-105 f/4 lens
(3) Pocket Wizard Plus ii's
(2)Alien Bee 1600's
1 bogen super clamp
1 Manfrotto light table
I placed one alien bee clamped to a chair under the semi clear mafrotto plastic light table and one light at a 45degree angle to illuminate the rest of the hat and to also blow out the back ground. Clear masking tape was used to make a jig so each hat would be uniform in the photograph.

1.Dirt: If your worried about your camera and everything you own being covered in dirt,don’t show up.
2. Credentials: Unlimited access is key to composing images. Contact your local magazine or know someone who knows someone. Free lunch is provided with the press pass.
3. See Tip 1.
4. Business Cards: Everyone from publishers to team managers are on hand and the event. Exposure is everything.
5. Clothing: With highs of 103 degrees is obvious to wear shorts and a t shirt. Yet wearing the same outfit for the entire 4 days of photographing makes you more recognizable to riders and other photographers that you meet during the event.
6.Pre-Visualize: There are thousands of ways to photograph the numerous lines and features. Pick your areas and produce quality not quantity.
7. Equipment: Two cameras are key. The remote camera is locked onto the tripod with the wide angle lens and can be triggered by pocket wizards. The main body varied from the 100-400 and the 24-105.
