Preparing to photograph a genuine gold nugget is for me a once in a lifetime opportunity: I wanted to get it right.
So the morning of the shoot I spent several hours experimenting with lighting techniques as well as working out exactly what I wanted to capture. This included my favourite use of black velvet as well as a ready made light tent, one speed light and an extra light diffuser. My lenses of choice were the Tamron SP 90 mm f2.8 and the Pentax 35 mm f1.4.
I knew that for my final work for the Golden Landscape 3AMPs Exhibition I would be using these images in creating work via creative digital imaging software but I also wanted to try some in camera photography.
So while trying out some double exposures I created this piece and quite like it.
what an absolutely unique opportunity! Look forward to hearing and seeing more of the story
