Spines in low light
A low-key study of a short stack of spines, with a black card holding back the light for a quieter, evening mood.
The stack, at eye level
The brief
Show a three-book series as a set, in a darker mood that suits its genre, without losing the lettering on the spines.
The setup
- Light
- one window, late afternoon, from behind and to the side
- Flag
- black card on the shadow side to deepen it
- Ground
- oak shelf edge, dark wall behind
- Props
- a beeswax candle, unlit
- Angle
- eye level with the spines
