Dark Field

This is the second of two images of glass that I took for my product lighting class. It’s a photograph of a dark field lit glass. This image was made by setting up a white background. I then set up a gobo on a Matthews stand directly behind the glass and in front of the white background so that the black just filled the frame. I then lit only the white background, which caused a white rim effect on the glass. I found this one a little harder to do than the bright field picture but I like the effect and outcome of the dark field better. It’s more dramatic.
