The Twins 12 & 6

Studio capture of one of my favorite subjects! Pretty simple setup… Black felt over table and cushions, guitar on top, soft box about 3’ away to the top right of frame and gold reflector at the bottom left.
Oh and she sounds as good as she looks too!! LOL!

    I think guitars make excellent photographic subjects. Come to think of it, most instuments do.
    Lighting is spot on here, as is the perspective.

  • Jason Moses

    Jason Moses

    As I said, excellent shot, but I’ve always found Lesters and ESs prettier than even the single-necked SGs. And the twin-neck version just ruins it, IMO. I’d probably be blaspheming further if I said I’d rather hear George Harrison or Peter Green than Jimmy Page. =P

    But, excellent shot and I’m sure I’d still play it. =)

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    LOL!!
    You sounds like me when i talk about other guitars… “not my fav, but i still want to play it”!!
    Nothing wrong with Mr. Green or Mr. Harrison, love them both!
    Thanks mate! :D

    LOL!!
    They are two good rules to live by SLY1 but the order is definately a tough one!! :D
    Hmmmm, throw into the mix amps and pedals and the order becomes very complicated!! LOL!!

  • its all about appearance

    its all about ...

    Nice one I find that when I take shots of musical instruments i.e. as a still life they just don’t seem to work. This one works and looks great on a t-shirt… great detail.

    Paul…nice job!! I like how the clarity and lighting reflect today, yet this type of guitar was most dominant in the 70’s. And, most shots of this guitar always looked grainy, like with Jimmy Page, or Alex Lifeson (early Alex Lifesone that is). I love this picture!!!! Scott

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Paul Louis Vil...

    Thanks heaps Scott! :D
