Chicken photos pullback shot

Pullback shot showing the setup used to photograph baby chicks. The stage is a plastic cutting board supported by two large coffee cups, illuminated from below by a strobe firing into an angled white card.. The strobe at right provides hard, grazing light to highlight chest feathers and produce catchlights for the eyes. (This one gets moved around some.)

 

The illuminated background is a nylon panel backed with a BCA photoflood (just a light bulb, basically) and the seamless backdrop is a sheet of inkjet paper.
