Julee's mosaics have been the trickiest things yet that I have photographed. Shiny little objects that are either semi-opaque, shiny and reflective, or both. As well, the latest piece is not flat, but a sculptured wavey shape. So I also wanted to have some nice shadows to show the shape.
I went with pointing a flash at the wall to cast a nice soft shadow on the piece. As well, I used the Orbis Ring Flash to fill the shadows.
Once we got this piece finished, Julee had a few more pieces that had not yet been photographed.
This piece is installed on the fence outside. I took a few shots without any flashes, and then had a flash on either side. The difference was subtle, but I think very important. The flashes added that "pop" that lifts the image just that little bit. Each tile has a tiny little glint. As well, the grout looks good too.
