About Satoro Satellite Photography

Ang Satoro ay isang serye ng mga larawan ng isang maliit na satellite, na ginawa para sa RedPeak. Ang mga imahe ay kinunan bago ipinadala ang satellite sa orbit, sa isang larangan kung saan karaniwan ang mga digital rendering. Ipinapakita ng mga puting background ang masalimuot na detalye ng disenyo, habang ang framing naman ay nagbibigay ng pakiramdam ng bigat at presensya. Ang mga komposisyon ay saklaw mula sa malapitang kuha ng maliliit na bahagi hanggang sa wide-angle na tanawin ng kumpletong yunit. Ang kontrast ng liwanag at anino ay naglalantad sa mga pattern sa reflective na ibabaw ng metal. Ang mga larawan ay ginawa sa loob ng dalawang araw sa Taipei para sa gamit sa digital at print.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: RedPeak and Satoro realized a series of photographs that play with colors, proportions, and compositions to create dramatic and striking images that highlight the innovative nature of the product. White backgrounds showcase the design intricacies while the framing creates a sense of weight and presence, with compositions ranging from close-ups that reveal the details of the product to wide-angle shots that capture the entire engineering feat.
Dimensions & Packaging: Produced several works in different sizes for application on different uses.
Tags: Photography, Satellite, Space, Aerospace
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.
Project Duration: Two-day shooting in Taipei.
Operation Flow: Satellite photography for digital and print applications.
