however trying to take a picture of the shiny box it came in without getting light reflections on it is driving me insane
an attempt
i had to manually hold up lights on either side of it and the lights are neither the same brightness nor colour temperature and i still got some freakin reflections on it

this arrangement probably is workable though with some refinement. like mainly i need to switch out one of the lights. i have an old desk lamp that could probably do the job with the right bulb if i could find the damn thing
It's still not as good as I've been able to get the console photos with overhead lighting but It'll Do I guess. I probably spent more time trying to photograph this box than anyone did designing it
i found the lamp! here's an attempt with more consistent lighting
