I'll be the first to attest that taking quality photos can be a pain if the lighting is limited, let alone professionally quality ones. Even setting up a light box with some reflectors doesn't necessarily mean that great pictures will ensue. Businesses that seek to promote new products know that this is even worse and very hard to produce those press quality shots in the office. Ortery Technologies is here to fill the gap with the Photosimile 5000.
This contraption is actually a PC controlled light box that is 28" cubed complete with lights, 3D turntable, camera, and software. The software controls everything from the camera and lights to cropping, zooming, and preview. If just a single photo isn't enough to show off your product, the
Photosimile 5000 can do 360-degree product shots, 3D Flash animation and can be fully automated or used in batch processes.
