The Design

About Satoro Fotografía de satélite

Satoro es una serie de fotografías de un satélite de pequeño tamaño, realizada para RedPeak. Las imágenes se tomaron antes de que el satélite fuera enviado a la órbita, en un ámbito donde las representaciones digitales son habituales. Los fondos blancos muestran los intrincados detalles del diseño, mientras que el encuadre transmite una sensación de peso y presencia. Las composiciones van desde primeros planos de piezas pequeñas hasta vistas de gran angular de la unidad completa. Los contrastes de luz y sombra revelan los patrones sobre las superficies metálicas reflectantes. Las fotografías se realizaron a lo largo de dos días en Taipéi para uso digital e impreso.

Production Technology
Equipped with a powerful Nikon D850 camera and two lenses: a Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 and a Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8, and aided by the advanced lighting capabilities of the Profoto Pro-11 with ProHead Plus, this unique photographic experiment captures the stunning contrast and interplay of light and shadow surrounding the satellite.
Design Challenge
To reveal the satellite’s technical marvel while facing the constraints of working with an invaluable piece of technology. The precious nature of the technology, combined with various types of reflective materials, presented challenges when lighting the surfaces. How might the team highlight the intricate technical details of a “not-an-everyday" object from various perspectives?
Research
The photographs reveal the raw and captivating intricacies of the satellite and its patterns as light dances across its gleaming metal surfaces. In this way, this project spotlights the incredible feats of technology humanity is capable of and demystifies the mysteries of space.
Inspiration
In a field dominated by digital renderings, RedPeak and Satoro wanted to capture the ephemeral essence of a small sat before its final destination in orbit. Inspired by the potential of small sats to redefine possibilities in space, the photographs play with contrasts in lighting, and proportions, spotlighting the possibilities of this small yet empowering technology.
