20090319 - TITTC: Paper

For the TITTC: Paper

Waste paper... oops, should've re-cycled! lol


For the curious: No PhotoShop stuff here. Just an off-camera flash to the left, set to strobe at 25Hz. Then loads of bits of cardboard to try to keep the direct light off the basket and the black backdrop.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

You had fun with this technique.
Handsome, especially the blurry fingers.
