Symmetrical Repeats

A folded paper form created from Paul Jackson's excellent book 'Folding Techniques for Designers, From Sheet to Form'. I've combined rows of Paul's motif pattern to construct this shape. To keep the structure nice and compact I made the pyramids as small as possible. I used the reversed side of a scalpel blade to crease the paper pre-folding to get a sharp clean edge.

 

After taking many sample photos it quickly became apparent that the composition was looking a little flat. I boosted the shadows and highlights by using a macro ring light (off camera) to enhance the natural light.

 

For the 'Macro Monday' - 'Just White Paper' challenge 16th January 2017.
