About Satoro Satellittfotografi

Satoro er en serie fotografier av en liten satellitt, produsert for RedPeak. Bildene ble tatt før satellitten ble sendt i bane, på et felt hvor digitale gjengivelser er vanlige. Hvite bakgrunner viser de intrikate detaljene i designet, mens innrammingen gir en følelse av tyngde og nærvær. Komposisjonene spenner fra nærbilder av små deler til vidvinkelbilder av hele enheten. Kontraster mellom lys og skygge avslører mønstrene på de reflekterende metalloverflatene. Fotografiene ble tatt over to dager i Taipei for digital bruk og trykk.

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.
