Lit by flash to allow for a small aperture and low ISO. The light was softened by fitting a white jiffy bag over the flash gun. The jiffy bag is lined on one inside surface with a sheet of bubble wrap laminated with aluminium foil, normally for used for insulation, but in this case to reflect light downwards. An extra sheet of white paper lining the other side adds some extra diffusion.
