Editorial: Sometimes, simple is powerful

It's easy to over think a shot. Lighting gets complicated, sets get complicated. Thinking simply, organically can produce a powerful result.

There are small craft oriented businesses everywhere. This shot to be used for an article on handmade items and how they contribute to the economy. Hands, product, cash flow. 

It only took a handful of shots including getting the framing down and the setup to make this image. 

One single overhead light and a dark background made a striking bold image. 

I love the way this looks as a black and white, it also works well in color.
