Still Life in Focus (and behind the scenes)

Posted by
Jason Kravitz (Brussels, Belgium) on 30 January 2009 in Food & Cuisine.

Another shot from my image from yesterday - this time in focus.

I started using my futon, skylight window and reflector for shooting still life and stock images... this one is a little uninspired but it demonstrates the technique - perhaps I'll be more creative for the next one.

I bought the background paper at a local art store. I was thinking it would be cool to get some different textures and patterns to experiment with.

Thank you to those who take the time to share your thoughts and comments.

Like this one very much Jason! I have considered the possibility of using a select few wallpapers for background.
