JD Hancock Photos

Origin

This photo was inspired by the Macro Mondays Flickr group’s weekly theme of “Wedding.”

Setup

The setup for this photo was relatively simple.

The backdrop is a sheet of twelve inch square black glitter paper. The couple, ho scale train figures, are sitting on my wedding ring, which I placed on top of a sheet of clear acrylic. The base of the entire scene is an old black shelf I frequently use for tabletop photography.

I shined a light at the bottom of the glitter paper behind the couple to produce the extreme bokeh effect.

Above the scene (and not shown here) is a large circular diffuser.

Alternate

I toyed with the idea of a gold background, but ultimately I decided the black/blue provided more contrast.
