Displays of Affection


The end of the semester is near and I've been running around going crazy finishing my final projects. Here is one of my fairly recent photos from my studio lighting class. The assignment was to work with a shiny object. Using what I have and trying to be clever, I decided to empty out my kitchen drawer and bring forks.

With this image I shot on a light table with a light tent over head. Using multiple hot lights coming from the left, right, behind and under. Not to mention all the little reflectors that helped make these forks look extra shiny and spiffy. As well as using a gobo to create definition and to outline the curves of the forks. 

This was definitely one of my favorite shoots and I loved working with the light table. It amazes me how much work I put into such a simple composition. 

Oh the loveliness of forks.
