Reproduction photography

When shooting a drawing or painting or similar (in my case it was a sculpture, sort of 3D paining), the lighting should be placed on a sides from the subject, not on the front.

Stripboxes on sides will provide soft enough light to fill the entire subject, but sharp angle will allow texture to pop-up.

The most important in reproduction photography is to avoid reflections and reproduce the texture of the subject, and example of such is below.
