This is the same shell that I photographed a couple of days ago, and posted on Flickr. For that image I laid it flat and lit it from the side so that I could reveal the shapes and textures. You can see that version of the shell down below in the first comment.
For this version I wanted to show the translucent quality of the shell, and make it glow, by using back lighting. I propped the shell up by leaning it up against a clear glass shot glass. Lighting came from a YN560-II in a Rogue grid behind the shell, and slightly to camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I have photographed quite a few shells over the years, and if you like this sort of thing, they're in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
You never know what you will find walking the beach. This engine block was slowly being reclaimed by nature. The sea and waves had already filled all the available spaces with small pebbles shells and seaweed. They shone like jewels against the dull metal.
This fishing cottage was transformed into a gorgeous grotto in the 1840s by a plasterer called Alex Bachelor, who also covered the interior walls in shells.

Whose face is that inside the mirror
Why do those eyes always look down
The world demands a flawless image
And forgets the dream we held at the start
You’re like a shell, hiding your softness inside
Afraid that being seen might bring you pain
You’re allowed to pull back, you’re allowed to feel lost
That’s nothing more than the cost of growing
You don’t know—you’re stronger than you ever imagined
You don’t see—your uniqueness is already light
Oh, your soul is like starlight in the deep sea
Oh, your soul—I’ll treasure it forever, forever
Fingers scroll through the noise of the virtual crowd
While reality wanders alone in the quiet
Don’t measure yourself by someone else’s ruler
You were already whole just as you are
You’re like a shell, nurturing a pearl inside
Softly glowing in the dark
You can be silent, you can feel unsure
That doesn’t mean you have to pretend
You don’t know—you’re stronger than you ever imagined
You don’t see—your uniqueness is already light
Oh, your soul is like starlight in the deep sea
Oh, your soul—I’ll treasure it forever, forever
You don’t know—you deserve the world’s embrace
One day, you’ll finally see what makes you shine
Oh, your journey—every step holds meaning
Oh, your existence is the most beautiful, most beautiful view
I’ll stay forever, forever
By your side as you learn
To see yourself
