After being part of the opening of the exhibition "In the course of time" I was asked to photograph the actual paintings from Behrouz Naghipour. It was technically challenging to photograph a still life that is flat, but still has a lot of structures. The structures combined with the colours tell the actual story. If the camera is not positioned right or the right angle chosen, it will give an unrealistic and flat look. I choose to use a tripod and positioned an off camera flash (Nikon SB-700) slightly high on the right of the paintings. Natural light was coming in from the left. A wired shutter release in combination of the MUP (Mirror Up) function on the camera were used to minimize camera movement. The whole session of paintings are shown below.
Technical information: Nikon D7100, Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.4G, SB-700 Flash. Shot at f/8 ad ISO 250.
