How do you set up shots of awkward items such as football shirts, international caps, medals?
Have a look at the TASI site. They have a fair amount of information on Data Capture and Creation – http://www.tasi.ac.uk/advice/creating/creating.html. However questions regarding your awkward objects are best answered by a good professional photographer. Photography of strange 3d objects will need all the skills of a photographer, and really it does not make any difference if the images are being shot with a digital camera or a film one. The main problems are those of lighting and photo-craft rather than anything to do with ‘digital’ imaging. Photoskills at that level are hard to teach and hard to provide any material for on a Web site, really it just comes down to experience, as different things will need different lighting setups and backgrounds. Standardisation of lighting and background will make the images far easier to present and work with once they are part of a collection.
