Title: My collection of German and US / UK posters comes to life!
Post by: filmfreak08 on June 11, 2020, 01:22:45 PM

Hello everyone,
I recently joined this forum and introduced myself in another thread. Today I started photographing the first batch of my collection: only folded German A1 and A0 posters... I‘m especially proud of the 1st one shown here, a gorgeous sqare A0 first release poster for „The King and I“. Once finished all images will be uploaded to  www.movieposters.de (http://www.movieposters.de). In case you’re interested, I will use this thread to inform you of any updates...

Coming up next: folded US One Sheets and all my stored-flat A1 posters...

Two fantastic posters, filmfreak!!!  I’m not big on naked men, even if their name is Yul, so The Apartment is more my style.

Amazing!

Great posters Uwe, particularly The Apartment - but I'm intrigued by your camera/lighting set up. Can you tell us a bit about that please?

Hi there. Nice set up. I like both posters...but I must admit that I also favor THE APARTMENT poster.  Welcome to the board. CHEERS!

Thank you all,
Mark, my set-up is nothing fancy: I use a 14" Neewer LED light ring (https://www.ebay.de/itm/254550676752 (https://www.ebay.de/itm/254550676752)) with stand and adapter for my Smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy S9. I'm curious to see how this will work with the rolled, glossy one sheets which are located just on top of this cupboard where I took these pictures ... ;D
Cheers,
Uwe

Very nice Uwe, I love how vivid the colours are on King and I.

Curious to see how the lighting rig works with glossy posters, I might buy something like that if it works nicely.

Nice set up.  Proper way to go.

Although i too was wondering what might happen with gloss posters with the lighting positioned in line with the camera...
