Still Life


 A kitten keeping an eye on it's next snack. To accomplish this I had the cat and fish set up on a table, then covered in a drop cloth. Photo left is a soft box on low just to cast a blanket of light. Photo right  and almost even with the subject is a snooted strobe pointed right at the jug . The idea was to use the jug's water to channel the light at the cat. I was hoping the fish might reflects some colored light but nothing showed up. The biggest challenge was adjusting the strobe and cat to get the lighting effect. The cat was also very uncooperative.
Cutting into the poison apple. Soft box photo left. Placed up on a table on top of plastic. the "poison" is India ink squirted on. Hard part was getting the apple and knife not to fall over every second and getting ink every where. Also keeping the knife clean and reflective.
