This Tiger Rose was shot on a Light Box to give it a dreamy, ethereal glow

In my continuing quest to banish winter and keep from going stir crazy I built a Light Box out of inexpensive foam board I bought at a local craft store. The top of the Light Box is a sheet of translucent white plexiglass. I put a single speedlight in the box pointing up and another speedlight about two and a half feet directly above the Light Box pointing down. Then I placed various objects on the Light Box and started shooting. The results were well worth the effort I think.

Practically anything that is at least partially translucent is a candidate for this type of shot. I’m going to try thin sliced fruit, various leaves, flowers and grasses next.
