Still Life

Last week and this week, I have been experimenting with different types of still life photos. First I started with smoke photos, shot on a black background with one flash, then taken into Photoshop for manipulation. Then I tried some exploding water-balloons, but after getting more wet than I wanted to, I quickly realized that I needed an assistant for that.

This is the set-up shot. Desk lamp, camera left, to help with focus, 
incense middle, Canon 430ex camera right
That was last week. This week is focused more on product type, still life photos. Things that could potentially lead to jobs for small stores, online retailers, etc. I used a photo tent and two flashes. This is what I came up with.







Set-up shot. Canon 430ex and a ghetto old flash, made by Vivitar maybe? 
The juice is inside a photo tent with a black backdrop.
Stay tuned to this blog and my Facebook page to see what else I am up to. More to come...
