Metal & Glass

The first time I went in to shoot the assignment I wasn't happy with my results. I chose to shoot a knife cutting into a nectarine. My photos seemed bland and dull, so I desided to go back in and shoot one of the many bike parts laying around my house. I think the leaves work well with the metal and wood table.






Lighting Diagram: Note that the soft box was positioned up and angled down to reflect the metal and light the table appropriately.


Outtake:


I had a hard time deciding on a select but ended up not choosing this one. The shadow under the front leaf bothered me.
