Cover photo for a Times Herald-Record Go! magazine cover story. Related story. This shoot was a lot of fun. Here is the cover image and some other variations of the shot.
Used 2 sb25s. One was inside a makeshift softbox behind the setup. A black piece of foam board was used as the background. Glass was used as the base on top of a black piece of paper. The strobe inside the softbox was used to light the edges of the bottle. Second flash camera right was flagged to block the light from falling on the bottle and used to light up the pasta that was dropped by me out of frame top. The camera was prefocused on a tripod using a 50mm 1.8.
