Photographing porcelain sculptures requires careful lighting to capture their delicate textures and intricate details. The best approach combines soft, diffused light with strategic angles to avoid harsh shadows. Start by using a large softbox or umbrella to create even illumination, placing it at a 45-degree angle to the sculpture for depth. A secondary light or reflector can fill in shadows on the opposite side. For translucent porcelain, backlighting can enhance its ethereal quality. Always use a neutral background to keep focus on the sculpture, and adjust white balance to ensure accurate color reproduction. Experiment with different setups to find what best highlights the unique characteristics of each piece.
