Well, I struggled with this one. Just coming up with an idea was tough. We had a theme like relaxed/peaceful. Not sure this hit it, but I tried. I actually stretched this project over a series of three shoots before I ran out of time and had to submit. I changed backgrounds, books, glasses and lighting each time. Here are examples of the three sessions.
First Try
Second Try
Third Try - Submission
All the lighting was coming from a small LED light, and my SB600 Speedlight which was on camera. Wish I had had the lighting class I took last Saturday for this assignment. I thik I would have enjoyed this assignment much more if I had worked that speedlight off the camera.
Comments by Don centered around the reflection in the glass (great, per Don, Brandy glasses are some of the toughest to photograph. I would have been well served adding some fill to this so the glass would not have reflected the room. I agree.
Would like to shoot this again, but we are off to the next assignment which is an Editorial Portrait. That should be interesting. I have purchased a transmitter for my Speedlight along with an umbrella. Looking forward to seeing if we can utilze that to come out with some shots to use for that assignment.
Learning lots!
