Hi Guys.
I'm looking to recreate a similar look to the images attached below and wondering what set-up and materials I would need to achieve this seamless backdrop and reflective surface combo?
Any help on this would be great!
digital 4x5's or larger.
Curved plexiglass probably.Your challenge is how to blur the transition from the reflective table surface to the matte white sweep background.
If you look at this page:
https://www.replicasurfaces.com/blo...rfect-white-background-in-product-photography
about 2/3 of the way down under "Fabric backdrops" there is a pretty similar photo showing the use of a mildly reflective white table surface and a white backdrop. They are actually using it to illustrate the problems with wrinkles in a fabric backdrop, but it's part of the way there. You should also read the next section of that page about paper backdrops and "sweeps".
Your challenge is how to blur the transition from the reflective table surface to the matte white sweep background. This is probably done with some combination of lighting, selective focus, and Photoshop, but I am not a product photo expert and can't tell you the exact method.
Heck no. Digital 4x5 or bigger never was a thing. Medium format (around 645 usually) and more commonly full frame 35mm, yes. Beyond that point there's just very little utility so nobody in their right mind goes there.
Curved plexiglass probably.
The rest is a matter of relatively big, diffuse light. Relatively big with small objects is of course not too difficult to pull off.

said their catalogues are done on digital 4x5 studio cameras
unless it was a tall tale
Something like this. I've used the black version to make masks for light sources. You can buy the opaque version or just put a white cloth/paper underneath it. 7.5 mil is flexible without being thin enough to ripple, and can be cut with a utility knife or scissors.
Digital 4x5 was a thing that lasted about as long as a phart in a windstorm. Scanning backs captured a 4x5 image one row of pixels at a time but the subject couldn't move. As sensor resolution increased scanning backs went the way of the dodo bird. Current high end 24x36mm sensors approach the resolution of 4x5 film ending any technical advance of 4x5.There was likely miscommunication involved. As said above, a native 4x5 system with a (much smaller, effectively medium format) digital back was a likely combination.
Have you tried to find a 4x5 digital camera? You'll understand.
