The brief, the light, the result
Client: Hald Glassworks · Digital tech: Mari Solheim
Clear glass on black is lit from behind. Two strip boxes sat either side of the bottle, feathered so that only their edges touched the glass, drawing a clean line down each side.
At 0.8 m
We stopped down to f/8 to hold the whole bottle sharp at 0.8 metres, and focus-stacked three frames for the tallest pieces.
The images now run on the glassworks’ shop and on a set of postcards sold at the kiln door.
