Sprinkles

"If I had the whole world I would give it away"- Kingston Town: UB40

 

It's been a mellow week for me. Just trying to avoid all the stress around and just chill. So far it's been working and I believe it's been showing in my photos as well. Nothing overly produced, just simple ideas that I try to execute.

 

Today's photo was inspired by an email conversation I had last night regarding bokeh. I took some candy covered chocolate sprinkles in a cup and just tipped it over and let them fall freely on the table.

 

Main lighting was provided by a shoot through umbrella however I noticed the light fall off was a bit much towards the back so I help bring up the sprinkles in the back with a snoot/grid speedlight.

 

Have a great Friday everyone. One love.
