Some Considerations in Photographing Glass for Commercial Purposes

JSGT_1936_V20_T104_T109

The purpose and form of commercial photographs is discussed with particular reference to the photography of glass. Two distinct types of photograph show respectively the form and the spirit of glass. Photographs having light backgrounds make better blocks in the subsequent production of illustrations and are preferred to dark backgrounds except in cases where the design of cut glassware has to be shown.
