About Satoro 卫星摄影

《Satoro》係一系列为RedPeak拍摄嘅小型卫星相片。呢啲影像系喺卫星发射入轨道之前拍摄嘅，喺呢个数码渲染图普遍嘅领域入面。白色背景突显出设计嘅精细细节，而构图方式则营造出一种重量感同存在感。构图由细部特写到完整机身嘅广角全景都有涵盖。光影嘅对比揭示出反光金属表面上嘅纹理图案。呢辑相片系喺台北用两日时间拍摄完成，用于数码同印刷用途。

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.
