Sugar

I asked why is our sugar brown and not white and was told that the sugar we use is not bleached like the other kind of sugar. I just nodded in agreement.

 

Whatever the case may be, I just downloaded the Ustream app for the iPhone and for the giggles of it broadcasted me shooting a bowl of sugar. Nothing too exciting but if you want to check it out click here.

 

For tonight's shot I just wanted to light the sugar from behind and bounce whatever light I could back. So I set a softbox above and behind the bowl and placed a reflector camera left. Afterwards I used some of the sugar in my tea.
