This lovely image was created under some rather unlikely circumstances. While at the KPFA Craft Fair last weekend, I was hired to do a product shoot for Frederic J Null, a stone scupltor. He makes amazing products, although being stone and steel, they’re incredibly heavy.

So we shot his booth, and then got his muscle to move some pieces a little bit, and threw a grey cloth over what we didn`t want to see. I shot a piece, and the muscle took it away and disassembled it. Some of the larger pieces (like the one shown above) they disassembled, and then moved. These things can weigh over four hundred pounds.

So, I’m doing a product shoot as quickly as I can, and from terribly close to the product. I wanted to be shooting with my fast 50mm, 15 feet away. Nope, I had to shoot from about 5 feet away with a 24-50mm lens to keep the other pieces out of the shot. I think it turned out, but I feel like the images look a little more dramatic than they really need to.

Anyway, here’s the above image before Steph Daniels photoshopped out the background:
