 Simple setup, my son and an old wooden box with one SB800 in it. I think it would be nice if i had a second light on the background, but i wanted this blue/night feeling. I wanted to look like he is opening the box alone, in the middle of the night. I would also like to had a better color gel filter for the flash and a smoke machine, or at least "expert editing"...

It is always hard to direct childrens but i think he did ok this time. Thanks Peter.

Oh this would have been sooo much better with a tighter crop. I wish I could see the little boy's face better. I love this idea!

Good idea. I would have cropped it much more tightly. There is too much wasted space on the left.
