JRN 420: Still Life

For the two candle photos I back lit the photos so to give create separation and also to light the smoke. I then used another strobe at 10 o'clock to as a fill and then place one at 4 o'clock as kind of main/fill for the front of the candle. I also used a blue gel the second photo to give the smoke a blue color.

For the shoes I used a red Nalgene Water Bottle as a gel and lit a white background. I then placed the shoes on a white piece of cardboard and used a main flash high and left and fill on camera right to light them.
