i chose candybar

once again i went overboard with the studiolights.
This is a complexed shot!
8 spots.Two softboxes, and 6 spots with nothing covering the flashbulb, the flashbulb with no coverage gives the sparkles. The different shapes and colours in the lower part of the watch, is made out of all the cd's in the studio scattered over the table, and hung by strings. There are two mirrors, one directly below, and the other one is in my hand reflecting the highlight in the middle of the watch while pressing the shootbutton with the other hand. I have placed a white "styrofoam" board on the left side to make the white higlight along the edge, while placed a black board on the other side, to make the shade on that side. The watch is hanging in fishingline. . The only postproduction i have made is to clone the wire away from where it was hanging, and added a little contrast by making a "gradient map layer" converted to softlight.
