North window still life
A study in single-window side light on a pale linen ground, with one botanical and one object with patina.
The hero frame: square crop
The brief
Photograph a cream hardback so the cover reads clearly in a square crop and a tall pin, using one window and nothing bought for the shoot.
The setup
- Light
- north window, camera left, an arm's length from the book
- Bounce
- white foam board, camera right
- Ground
- undyed linen over a pine table
- Props
- dried gypsophila, a tin mug
- Angle
- about 45 degrees, camera a little above the book
