Things Come Apart- Look at all the fasteners!

Here's a great book - Things Come Apart by Todd McLellan.
Just looking at the amazing photographs is inspiring, and the text is clever as well.
It shows you how fasteners hold everything together, and what it takes to build something as simple as a drill or a lawnmower. It's a fascinating look inside. We'll be posting more photos from the book in future posts. Enjoy!

Photographing A Raymond Tinnerman Fasteners

Photographing small fasteners is tough and tedious. Some are very tiny, and some are quite beautiful. It's important to label the part with the correct part number. I shoot them with the number first, then photograph them separately afterwards, that way I can reference the film, er….digital file….to find the right number for the right part.

A Raymond Tinnerman makes a lot of photogenic parts. If you have a good macro lens, you can make fasteners look great. Keep the light natural, use reflectors and a steady tripod…that's all you need to get a good shot of a tiny fastener.
