Photography of optics in the Snapshot Studio lens – our project for Solaris Optics S.A.
Our goal was to showcase the beauty and quality of the products in a way that would impress both industry experts and those who don’t encounter optical technologies on a daily basis. The final result is a collection of photographs that not only highlight intricate details but also emphasize the remarkable play of light and reflections – elements that make optics so fascinating through the lens.
Why is optical photography difficult?
Unlike standard product photography, where the focus is on colors, textures, and proportions, photographing optical components involves working with materials that are extremely sensitive to reflections and distortions. Every lens or optical plate acts like a small mirror – reflecting both light and its surroundings in ways that are not always easy to predict.
To capture them attractively, it is necessary to ensure:
- Specialized session planning – the right background, elimination of unnecessary reflections, and control over all light sources.
- Experience in working with transparent and reflective materials – not every studio can successfully handle optical glass.
- Precise post-production – retouching, color correction, and detail adjustments that give the photographs their final look.
These aspects are exactly what make professional optical photography so demanding – but at Snapshot Studio, we love to take on challenges.
What did our collaboration with Solaris Optics S.A. look like?
Solaris Optics S.A. is a company with long-standing experience in optoelectronics, delivering solutions for sectors such as defense, space, medicine, and science. Their products are of the highest quality, which is why our main goal was to present them in line with the image of a brand with international prestige.
Preparations for the session included:
- product analysis – studying how each item reacts to light,
- selecting the scenery and lighting – to enhance the optical properties of the components,
- trial shots – testing different camera and light setups,
- final execution – photo sessions requiring full focus and precision.
Each stage demanded our utmost attention – a single wrong movement or shadow could completely change how the photograph was perceived.
The result – an extraordinary play of light
The results speak for themselves. The photographs present Solaris Optics’ components in a modern and eye-catching way. Light, which is usually the greatest challenge, became the key element in our shots – giving the images a unique style.
Through careful editing and thoughtful composition, we managed to bring out the most beautiful qualities of optics:
- the clarity and transparency of glass,
- subtle reflections and color dispersion,
- precise shapes and construction details,
- an aesthetic that underscores the brand’s innovativeness.
Why invest in professional product photography?
In the technology and industrial sectors, there is often a belief that “a product should speak for itself.” However, in reality, the way a product is presented determines whether the customer perceives its true value. Professional product photography can:
- increase the attractiveness of an offer and draw in new customers,
- make the brand stand out against competitors,
- inspire trust in terms of product quality,
- strengthen the company’s image as modern and professional
