Equipment used for my Shoot

Equipment

  • Continuous light source
  • Reflectors
  • Camera 

Nikon D700

  • Lens
    Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IFED
  • Tripod
  • Substitutions: Working with slow shutter speeds so you will need secure stabilization.
  • Props
    Although there are many symbols in the original Vanitas style paintings I could have incorporated into the photographs I chose to only use Janet’s belongings as I didn’t want any distractions.
  • Although after my first shoot using a plinth to display these items I did deicide to use was an oak table which I thought looked was more appropriate to the styal.

Lighting and Camera Settings
To mimic window light, I placed continuous lighting to the left side of the table
