Stuffed Animals
I produced a collage of my little daughter's 18 (!) stuffed animals. The final print should be placed in her room.
Each single toy was shot in a DIY studio setting using the strobist technique. Two flashes (Nikon SB-26) were wirelessly triggered and fired through (front right with 1/2 pwr) and against (rear top with 1/2 pwr) an umbrella. For the backdrop I used a white coloured card. A second card for reflection of some light (front left).
The toys were fixed on a cooking spoon that was bound on a small tripod with a couple of rubber bands. Simple construction but very flexible.
As lens I chose the ultra sharp AF Nikkor 50mm/1.8f D at f11.
In post-processing the background was lightened up and contrast and saturation was slightly increased. Finally everything was put together with the "montage" command of the ImageMagick toolset.
