Skinned Alive

Day 93 of 365

"Skinned Alive"

 

Today's portrait came to me after I peeled a mandarin for my daughter. I removed the peel in one piece, and immediately pondered how it would look if I had cut the outer membrane first. Well, it looks a bit like a ribbon. With that in mind, I peeled another one, strung it up over my black tile, and prepared to shoot. Our light is a deep Octa at camera-left, and it is positioned with just the front edge of the light along the side of our little friend. This gives us enough light to illuminate the fruit, but also allows for some fall-off on the camera-right side. I sprayed the orange with a spritz bottle, and waited for the drip. I removed the support string in post, and that's how it all happened. Thanks for dripping by!! I don't have any orange jokes.....none.
