I was back at Spa Lighting in Co. Kerry today for some follow-up shots, including general interior photographs. Before I post any of those photographs, there is still plenty from the first shoot ten days ago.

Sometimes it is hard to figure out a picture. You just can’t think of a way of presenting a subject in an interesting way.

Sometimes the solution is so obvious everybody can see it, and everyone knows what it is without even saying so.

This picture comes under the second heading.

The light bulb went on in everyone’s head at the same time when we saw the lamp.

The lighting set-up was straightforward. An off-camera strobe with an umbrella just out of shot to the left of Edel.

By the way, this lamp is pricey. A couple of grand. And you wouldn’t want to break a bulb. Like, erm, kinda happened today.

Nothing to do with me.

Honest.

Anyway, other than a bit of cropping and colour correction, this is pretty much how the file came out of the camera.
