Translucence In An Onion Skin
The other day my wife handed me an onion skin because she thought that I might like to photograph it. She was right. I think that it kind of glows like a Japanese lantern with the back lighting except that it has more interesting textures and patterns.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to show the luminous qualities of the thin paper like skin so I placed a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind it at camera left. Fill light on the left side came from a YN560-III in a 24X36 inch gridded soft box positioned such that the light just skimmed over the skin on the front side. Fill light on the right side came from a small hand mirror. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
