Electric Ink

Product photography for Electric Ink's tattoo machines and power supplies. One hard light, black background, two dozen frames — my job was the colour grade, the clean-up and the composition, and to make the anodized finishes read as one surface from cap to cam.

Five round Electric Ink PS/R power supplies in a row, anodized teal, green, red, orange and yellow, on a black mirrored surface
