I guess that you may have an amazing replica Rolex in your collection that you’ve always been interested in. Is there any way to show off your Rolex than to take some really nice pictures? Whether you’re using photography equipment or just your mobile phone, we gathered some good tips on how to take the best photos possible of your watch.
Lighting will always be an important factor whatever you’re taking a picture of. No matter what kind of equipment you are using, your best bet will always be to use as much natural lighting as possible. Find a spot close to a window or go outside under the cover of a patio or tree, or in other words, avoid direct sunlight. Generally speaking, replica watches are often made up of shiny components, such as polished metals and crystals, so it’s significant to keep reflections in mind. Taking your photos away from direct sunlight prevents washy and distracting reflections in the crystal.
What’s more, it may result in blurry or grainy images if it’s too dark. Finding the right balance between natural sunlight and shade is crucial. You can also add some drama to your photos by taking advantage of interesting light, such as a single small window in a room, the glow of a neon light, or a flashlight pointed at an angle towards your watch.
A practical suggestion is to photograph your fake watch inside your car. The combination of surrounding windows and the roof overhead creates a lot of indirect light; a great environment for photographing watches.
The dial is the first thing anyone sees when they look at a replica Rolex watch, so it’s so crucially important to stress it as much as possible. Setting the hands at 10:10 keeps the wording on the dial unobstructed and frames the logo nicely. Taking your photo at an angle also helps to accentuate specific features of the watch. Don’t just shoot your timepiece straight-on, you can also concentrate on cool aspects such as the crown, bracelet, or lugs. If you have a very special watch like the Rolex Submariner ref 6200 pictures of the crown would make for an amazing picture.
Shoot for the style of the cheap replica watch by photographing it next to something relevant to the fake watch’s aim. If you’re shooting a Daytona, try photographing it on the engine of your roadster or the fine leather of the bucket seats. Please surround your Submariner with your dive gear if you drive. A dres’s watch might look nice next to the morning newspaper or your favorite cufflinks. Don’t be afraid to get close; your watch should fill up the frame. A DSLR camera also gives you more control. If you go that route, you should also consider using a tripod to achieve the best images possible, as photographing anything close-up can often be a pretty shaky process.
