One Additional Hint: Separate the Watch from the Background
In Response To: Re: Get some paper too ()

Looking good, so far!! Love the family photo and individual shots of the GMTs

A friend who is a professional photographer [mainly portraits in the studio] once told me that the main challenge of good portraits is to separate the person from the background. He was referring to how he lights the person who he is shooting, to get separation from the background.

I am guessing that this is also good advice for our "portraits" of the watches . . . we need to separate the watch from the background. So perhaps some background other than red will help us see the red and blue GMT bezels better?
