Honma Golf – Irons on Black
May 2019 | Personal Project
The Goal For The Project
These irons are the same as the ones I play. They’re a forged club with a stunningly simple design, beautiful curves, and both chrome and matte finishes.
This makes the Honma’s a perfect subject to shoot. The overall goal was to isolate the clubs, suspended in air and focus on the curves, focus on the chrome, focus on the craftsmanship.
What Was Created
I took hundreds of photos with 3 different lenses – 90mm macro with and without additional extension tubes, 50mm with extension tubes, and a wide angle lens with extension tubes.
The wide angle produced some extreme angles. I was able to almost rest the lens on the back of the club and still capture the entire logo and back sole. Something that typically only happens with CGI.
