The assignment was to use one very large light source for the shot. Bring it in close, and use the magic of soft, diffused light to present the subject.

The students in the still life workshop also photographed their setups for us. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at the photo created, and study the setup for a ‘thousand words’ on how it was done.
