I Got Crabs!

I did my crab shot today.

Can I just say that I am loving the colour and sharpness of the Hasselblads. The only downside is that the file sizes are massive!

Back to the crabs - I was stuck at how to photograph these ugly creatures. Blue Swimmer Crabs have this amazing colour of blue on the under side of their shell. I'm hoping to bring this to life -the colour is electric. The other problem I has was which props I should put with this crab in the shot.

Well, I used a white and black background with the use of natural light, with a fill card, and a mix of plates to create a shot that is sharp and 'to the point'. Picture of this to come. Here are some of the photographers that helped inspire me to do the shot, through the use of the subject to negative space: William meppem ryan bush Andy Lewis
