Studio Still life - Wooden Chair

This is another image taken recently as part of a studio assignment. I decided this would be interesting to photograph as I have taken inspiration from novels  written by Jane Austen and the Bronte Sisters. I have always enjoyed reading these books and watching films and dramas from these periods. I felt the chair should be photographed to present its full richness and quality of time and wear. The chair was photographed on a deep brown creased material usually used as a backdrop for portraiture. I used four separate lights to create this exposure. The chair itself is in a pool of light from  lighting with a snoot and small  honeycomb attachments to create the shadow underneath as it shone through the detailing in the seat of the char. The soft light towards the back of the photograph was created by a tungsten flash light with two pieces of card to create a small shaft of light bathing the background, simulating a crack in a door opening. The photograph was taken using my Nikon D40 DSLR camera and studio lighting.
