PAINT YOUR SCENE WITH FLASH
3
Set up your flash with triggers so you can fire it remotely,
then hold the flash above the grater aiming down at 45º.
Start with 1/8 power, turn the lights off and take a test shot.
Reposition the flash until you get the best reflections.
PRO ADVICE TRY A VINYL
BACKGROUND
We used a selection of vinyl backgrounds from http://www.
clubbackdrops.com, which are really easy to clean and roll up
to save space when they’re not in use. A few of our favourite
backgrounds from them are Dark Kelvin, Tacombi Blue and
Scratched Metal.
We placed some
small 0.5kg
weights on the
corners of the
backdrop to keep
them perfectly flat.
For this setup, we
bent the vinyl into
an infinity curve,
using some
painter’s tape
to secure it
safely to a wall.FRESH PHOTO IDEAS FOR 2022Dan Mold
