Claim 12:
13. A controller comprising:
a processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to:
synchronize an illumination of a background using a background lighting system with a capture of a first image by a camera;
synchronize an illumination of a subject arranged between the camera and the background using a subject lighting system with a capture of a second image by the camera;
cause a fiducial marking device to emit collimated light from a fiducial light source toward the subject and synchronize an illumination of the subject with the collimated light with a capture of a fiducially marked image of the subject by the camera;
provide the first image, the second image, and the fiducially marked image to a computing device configured to generate a photography product using the first image, the second image, and values determined from a location of the fiducial marker in the fiducially marked image, the values including a pixel density of the fiducially marked image and a reference height of the subject.
