Shapes And Textures In A Red Starfish
Last month my wife brought home some seashells and this starfish as subjects for me to play with. Back in June I photographed the other side of this starfish, and today I thought I would document this side. It's very different.
Lighting: I placed the starfish on a piece of black Perspex and lit it from the right side with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box placed at 9:0'clock. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera left. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N
I have quite a few sea shell pictures, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, they're in my Shells album.
