assignment: multi-pop tabletop

in our large format class we learned about using multiple flash pops to light an object (painting with light, in a way), as well as the Sinar method for calculating a specific depth of field and finding the correct exposure for both the camera settings and the flash. while it was very time consuming to have to stop set up every time someone in another studio bay yelled "dark!" and turned off all the lights to shoot their assignment, i really enjoyed this process...

  3. This is excellent. Probably one of my favorites of your work. It manages to be innocent and creepy at the same time. I love the warm tone against the black background. This would make an excellent book cover for some sort of horror/thriller novel. Send it to Stephen King and see if he has a book about haunted dolls in the works.
