Making Of: Merry Christmas

Making Of: Merry Christmas

"Making of" tutorial line will focus (in short) on technical aspects used to create a specific photo. "A picture is worth a thousand words", therefore each tutorial will be accompanied by one set-up shot.

"Merry Christmas" photo was part of a bigger project for an external company. Target was to create a "Christmas greeting card" with a cheap set up ( no studio, household objects, Nikon CLS)

Set-up shot:



Gear used:

•Nikon D300 , Nikkor 50 mm F1.4 @ F2.0
•Nikon SB-600 at 1/128 reflected of silver umbrella
•Nikon SB-900 ( used only as remote)
•Triggered by Nikon CLS

Final Image:


Except for the "Merry Christmas" greeting and the frame, no other post processing was done.

Yes, it was shot in my kitchen! Don't let the mess distract you!
