Ceramic Figure Reading
I was looking for subject matter to photograph, and a family member brought this over to exploit.
Strobist info: I wanted to create the shadows which would reveal the folds of the robe so I went for side lighting. The main light was a YN560-II in a 24inch softbox camera left about 3 inches from the figure. I used a silver reflector disc on the right side for fill, and then (which was probably unnecessary) a Strobie 130 with a Rogue grid for rim lighting on the head and shoulder. The two strobes, in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other still life pictures that I've taken are in my Still LIfe set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157635247182331/
