Project52 Challenge of the Week: "Cooking with Chili" book cover design.
Here's a link to behind-the-scenes: wp.me/p4liTN-fX
Lighting: 5' x 2' Softbox with Einstein on the left, gold reflector on the right.
With the jacket on the floor, I was able to secure the peppers. I figured out that heavy duty double-sided ATG tape (the kind used for picture framing) works to stick the peppers to the jacket.
I had to stuff the jacket with a pillow, and a rolled-up towel inside the sleeves. The white cards made it easier to “cut” the peppers out of the background.
I had about 12 red peppers to work with so I laid them out in batches on the jacket, starting with the lapels. I took several photos and stitched them together.
The fire photo was taken from my library of stock images.
