The real Kostroma forest right in the studio
My articles about Crimea will continue soon, as I process photos from the trip. After the vacation, I got a lot of work that does not allow me to devote time to photographs from the Crimea.
But I have something to brag about without Crimean photos.
I have an old and kind client - this is a master smith. This man is engaged in forging axes. I have repeatedly shown his work, but today is a special case.
It so happened that the blacksmith decided to hold an action and sell off a certain ax model.
For this purpose, I took a sample and asked the blacksmith what it was called. It turned out that this ax is called a forester.
I decided that it was worth going to the forest and taking photographs of an ax in nature there. This is not a bad idea, but it has some problems. In the forest it is very difficult to control the lighting of an ax.
So I decided that I would take a piece of wood to my studio and take photographs of an ax there.
Using a scoop, I removed the top layer from the soil along with moss and all the plants that were on it. Here and cranberries and blueberries, and even mushrooms.
This layer was 60x40 centimeters in size. I put the layer in a large cardboard box and packed the ambassador in a plastic bag. In this form, within an hour I took a piece of wood from the forest to the studio.
As a result, I got beautiful photos of an ax, which I hope will help my client sell this.
I must say that these axes are real works of art. When he works on these products in the forge, he puts both his soul and strength and knowledge.
I want to add that recently the master blacksmith sells his axes even to Finland. If anyone is interested, then I can help and assist in the acquisition of forge products.
So the Kostroma forest gives me the opportunity to decorate my photos.

This is so beautiful, what a professional and polished photo shoot for the Forester's Axe! These kinds of standard of photography really does capture a marketable contents for the creator of the items, I think <3
Simply spectacular, @amikphoto !!!
Thank you! :)
Great idea to use a gray background. Your stage set is awesome with all the greenery looking so fresh. The second to last photo is my fav for the composition. I think someone in the market for this product would be enticed by your photos for sure. And of course the axe is spectacular.
Thank you :) I want to say something more but I can't think of anything better :)
Haha! Just keep taking such creative photos!
Great shoot. Would love to see a "behind the scenes" shot of your lighting set up
Nothing special :) Just two softboxes and one flash for backlight. The hardest part was to drag a piece of wood into the studio :)
