[TheForge] Mastermyr photo question...

[Andy Vida]

Folks,

In a few weeks I should be receiving the Mastermyr collection for
photographic documentation.  My idea is to do a full documentary
shoot for purely archival purposes, "mug shots" if you will, and
an artsy shoot better suited to the aesthetics of the work.

My question is this: for the documentary photos I am thinking that
a white or near-white background is in order to as to contrast well
with the dark iron and not introduce any distracting elements into
the images.  These images would serve as a catalog of the collection
and in my mind should focus solely on the features of the objects
in as clear and clinical a manner as possible.  Does anyone disagree
with this?  If so, why?  Bear in mind that there will be an entire
other shoot intended to showcase the aesthetics of the pieces as well.

Thanks.
