The Couch ? The BEST way to take a guitar collection picture
The Couch ? The BEST way to take a guitar collection picture
Hey friends,
It's been a long since I'm here now, and I've discussed with lot of passionates here, with beautiful colllections, and I came back with the same problem/question : What is the best way to take a guitar collection in picture ?
Of course we've got THE COUCH our best friend for a group photo ! But, our guitars deserve more than a couch, don't you think ?!
We've got walls, pool table, racks, outside, ... but nothing unique for a family portrait ...
Feel free to share any idea concerning taking picture of 10+ guitars in the same frame, with style
Cheers !

I have done a few outside shots, but never tried a big group shot. I have seen a few outside on the grass shots that came out nice.
But the sun has to be in just the right spot or you can get glare and reflections, and some colors don't seem to photograph well in the sun.
I wish the lighting was better in my shot, its a little dark on the left hand side. Overall I was happy with how it turned out.
very nice ideas and collections if u have children best to be careful with the couch even if no1 is home they get everything on the couch and u want clean guitars!
this was the best i could do in a king size bed... but if u have nice hard wood floors and a understanding wife- --- well make sure your wife is out of the house and move all the furniture and take a photo un a stepstool and if the lighting is right u can get it done it depends on the collection. this is some of my esp kirk hammett guitars only 13 i think of the 18 of his i could fit in the frame. i was going to do guitar stands as i have 15 but id have to move everything and schools out and my wife wants to kill me, these are the kirk hammett ESP guitars again i have 4 dif models and some doubles and triples of models this is what i could fit. all kirk hammett esp guitars new.
1 james hetfield all esp not ltd. and the khdc in stblk has the pickguard removed.
move some furniture and lay them on the floor, and get on a ladder or tall step stool, if you have an open room that you can see from your stairs or a loft even better.
This was as many as I could pull out and get in the picture and put back away while my wife was out shopping one day, it is about 90% of my esp ltd collection.
