PHOTOGRAPHER’S COMMENT—Notes on the Chapter-
Opening Shot with Glasses Containing Red Beverage
Not a sunny day? No problem! I use a Chimera Lantern lightbank at
the back of the set. This little beauty works like a soft sun, a little
ball of light. It evens out the background and wraps light around the
edges of the glasses. A soft fi ll with a medium lightbank at camera
does the trick. Once again no need for refl ectors or fi ll cards. Pulling
focus with my Hasselblad H3D makes the front glass the hero.
