Many may have seen photographs of light bulbs and wondered exactly how they have been photographed – as they are notoriously difficult for the non-pro. Glass objects need to be lit from behind or on the edge – either way can make for great images – but when combined they can make for even more striking work.
Sam and Richard have been playing with glass on many shoots and therefore thought it would make for an interesting post. We have shown in the following photos both ways and a combination. We have our favourite but which is yours?
