Double Espresso
© copyrighted image; all rights reserved.
A double espresso served in an Arabia Ego espresso cup, design by Stefan Lindfors 1998 for Arabia Finland (part of the Iittala group). Would you believe me if I said that this shot is straight out of the camera (sort of, it was shot in raw). All hail to light meters.
Now I know a white espresso cup on a pure white background isn't all that exciting. But it's good practice :)
Strobist info:
I put a sheet of glass on two drinking glasses, to get the "cup floating in air" effect. One 540EZ in a shoot through umbrella camera right and high, and a 430EX on the floor under the sheet of glass pointing up onto the background. Everything was triggered with the Elinchrom Skyport system, metered with Sekonic L-358. The background came out pure white directly out of the camera, only changed the crop (actually made it bigger) and added the text.
