Yes, another sewing image for me. When researching my New Year's Resolution image (looking for some extra inspiration), I saw some cool needle/thread images that gave me ideas on some still life shots.
I combined that thinking with this challenge, especially considering most still lives are shot with multiple light sources, so that gave me an extra challenging situation. I really like how this came out.
To light this, I put a flash in an umbrella, which I pulled way down so the reflected light would be soft and have a quick transition to shadow. I also setup a 5-in-1 reflector on the left side of the image, using the white portion to reflect a small amount of light back into the shadows.
