The color and the shape

I stole that from Dave Grohl.  Thanks Dave.  I like taking pictures of people, but lately I've been working on some other things.  Shooting inanimate objects brings a different kind of challenge.  I am able to entirely control what the camera sees.  Start with a blank slate in complete darkness and add light, color, shape and volume until I get exactly what I want in camera.  Then I take everything and layer together multiple exposures in Photoshop to create a final image.
