This Month's Photograph
In
the 1980s I did a series of still lifes for textbook publishers,
magazines and advertising clients. This led to me thinking about
lighting still lifes. I started to explore the possibilities, creating a
series of still lifes shot in a totally dark room. I lit the objects by
moving around small handheld flash units and flashlights. I continue to
pursue this technique, because it allows me to redefine the space in
ways that would be physically impossible in daylight or with traditional
studio lighting. I love the way I can create multidirectional light,
change where the shadows and highlights fall, and mix various colors of
light.
