I’ve had another really busy week at NAIT! This month I’ve had the opportunity to shoot two of my favorite assignments! Liquids and a low key portrait. How lucky am I?
For the liquid assignment I had to ensure that light was passing through the chosen liquid. I chose an neat bottle of perfume I had kicking around my house. CK’s N2U for her.
It was very fun to shoot! I shot this image on black plexiglass, with 4 lights:
A main beauty dish off to the left, a soft box overhead, a kicker back left, and finally a very subtle background light. About an inch above the perfume was a circular diffuser, to soften the light even more, ensuring that the liquid is mostly evenly lit.
To light the liquid I simply put some aluminum foil angled directly behind the bottle, catching the light from the softbox!
If you are looking to read up on lighting liquids, I highly recommend Light Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting
Today, my dear friend and workmate Lyss was coerced into modeling for my low key portrait. She is a beautiful girl and an avid collector of smoke related paraphernalia. She brought in an alluring hookah, which smelled of green apples, and blew some smoke for me to capture this image.

. It’s an incredibly brief read that is very optimistic and inspiring for small business owners. I highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about running a tiny business, like a one or two-man photography studio.
