Metal/Glass Assignment

For this assignment I worked on shooting metal while my classmate Sarah shot glass. For metal, I used an iPod with broken shards of CD's surrounding it to represent the change in technology that has overcome the music industry in the last decade. In order to keep the iPod's shape and writing visible,  I used a reflector and generally low lighting so as not to blow out the color. Below is the photo and lighting diagram.



Between 1999 and 2009 U.S. CD sales were cut in half, forcing music retail stores to cut back on stock or go out of business. This decline in sales is largely attributed to the rise of digital technology and online piracy.




Here's a rough sketch of how I lit the scene:
