JD Hancock Photos

Setup

The setup for this photo was very simple.

I placed a sheet of black poster board on top of the elevated black shelf that I often use for tabletop photography. I kept the poster board from slipping with a couple of large binder clips on one end, and I curved the other end upwards to form the backdrop.

Above the scene (and not visible in the setup photo) is a large round diffuser. Only the ambient light from the normal room lighting was used.

Alternate

In my initial attempts in taking this photo, I positioned the Grim Reaper closer to the center of the frame. Upon reflection, I thought he’d provide a little more balance if he was closer to the left edge.
