Masked Faerie

This photograph was created for
sculptor Paula Slater for her
acrylic sculpture collection called
Royal Faerie.  The lighting was
done with strong backlighting
with bright patches of light
reflected vial mirrors.  Tradition
reflective light does not work for
this type of subject because
much of the detail is seen as light
passes through the object. In
as sense, the subject must be lit
from within. It also helped to talk to
the sculpture while photographing it,
no it really helps, it really does.
