Yeah that's not slipping below a sleeve is it lol
Since photographing watches came up a few times here I have been playing around with easy watch photography anyone can try, all you need is a modern phone camera and the light from your computer monitor. No other light source needed.
As posted on reddit:
I am using just a Galaxy S20 for these shots in the normal automatic mode but set to the 2x zoom mode which kicks the autofocus into macro mode and you can get much closer to the watch and capture details that would otherwise be lost in the default wider shot which uses the wide lens as opposed to the telephoto for macro.
I always have a light source when shooting watches, in this case the room lights are off and only the monitor is on with a maximised window of a white website (Google/Gmail etc). This allows me to get a slight kicker off the edge of the watch crystal which gives depth to the dial and on boxed crystals or ones with blue AR, looks really professional.
Have a play with angles and distances and see what you come up with, you could spend all day playing around with different ideas. could even put fairy lights on the desk so they turn into bokeh balls in the shot too to add that further pro camera look.
