Shimmer and Silk

Heather Smith

Studio shot with controlled directional lighting against black backdrop to isolate the subject. This ranunculus displayed unusual colour variation - random orange flashes, burgundy bleeding into red, vibrant magenta at the edges - which made it worth the setup. Mid-shoot, a small spider crawled onto the petals and positioned herself on the rule of thirds line. White against deep red. The composition relies on contrasts: shimmery petal texture against furry sepals, bold saturated colour against the delicate spider, theatrical lighting
