how to photograph a black subject on a black background

Here's a follow up to my video about black backgrounds. Photographing Black products on black backgrounds can be a real headache, because light is absorbed by black and reflected by white In actual fact if a subject is mat and pure black even with a direct light it would be difficult too see it. The real technique for photographing black products on black is by reflection. By using mirrors , silver card and other types of reflectors , we can bring out detail in a black product that we can't normally see. You will see how I use these items and play with the positioning to get the best result . I recommend constant light or studio flash for this type of work, as speed lights / speedlites are not ideal. The positioning of each reflector must be exact so without a modeling light it is virtually impossible. A simple halogen lamp from any diy store is sufficient.
