Profession
Leica M8
I recently got a new contract job through a local camera shop photographing their used equipment for Ebay. This is not your every day photo equipment. This is mostly high-end photo equipment with labels like Leica and Hasselblad, but I do see the occasional Nikon equipment. I take the product, clean it up, photograph it with any contents (boxes, manuals, accessories), list the contents, rate the condition, note of any wear or blemishes, photograph different angles, and photograph any damage that the product 
might have. Then, the next step is processing the images for the web and inputing the information with pictures to the Ebay account.
This is a picture of my work station taken with my new Motorola Droid (not very good with low light capabilities, but it is 5mp). I’m using a Profoto D4 pack with D4 heads, Elinchrom octo bank (main light right), Profoto soft box (over head), a reflector on the left, and a product table lit from the back. Simple set up.
I am really enjoying this job. I get to see many different types of cameras and try out new equipment. Just the other day I used the new Leica S2, which is a $28,000 camera. It was sweeeeeet! Here are a few photos of what I am doing and a short video from Animoto–I am really dig’n their program. To see more of my images check out my website: www.timbreaseale.com
