Lamb in Tangine


Lamb in Tangine 1
Originally uploaded by Arclight Images

Hung out with friends on Saturday, always bring my camera and some lights, so I decided to shoot his dinner. He just bought a Mediterranean pot called a Tangine and made Lamb stew with quinoa, ground cherries and dried fruits in it. It tasted as good as it looks.

Lighting - SB900 in a Westcott Apollo softbox high and behind the food. I forgot my reflector, so I opened a white shoot-thru umbrella in the front for fill.

Lighting- SB900 with a DIY grid as the key light on-axis and 2 feet above the subject pointed at the face. SB600 in an Orbitz Ringflash for fill. Two Dynalites in gridded stripboxes behind the subject and 8ft to the left and right. Large pieces of black cardboard held up by lightstands and clasps on either side of the subject to flag lens flare and block the side lighting on the face.

Retouched in Lightroom and Wet Chrome preset added.
