Vase with Branch

The image "Vase with Branch" consists of a grouping of elements that have been recycled, reused, or repurposed in some way. The vase (or ceramic pot) was borrowed and was not being used by its owner at the time. The branch had formerly been a garnish on a plate of sushi. The slate surface on which the vase is resting had formerly been used as a stepping stone in a garden area. The rice paper backdrop had originally been purchased for a shoji panel.

Not only had the elements in the photograph been previously used for other purposes, but so has much of the equipment in my studio. The stool, on which this slate surface was positioned for the shot, had been rescued from the garbage and repaired. It now resides in my studio and is a handy place to set things down when I’m not sitting on it. The reflector used to bounce the fill light into the scene had a former life as a (super 8 mm) home movie projection screen. The heavy-duty light stands used to support the SB-600 key light and the boom holding the backdrop were once used to hold studio monolights. Even the tripod holding my Nikon D70s had formerly been used to hold a much heavier medium format camera. The tripod no longer functioned properly and so a friend donated it to me. I tore it apart and rebuilt the clutch mechanisms for the head and legs. Now I have a super solid studio tripod.

There are many opportunities for the enterprising, frugal photographer to acquire nice functional equipment at little or no cost. Just keep your eyes open for the opportunity to glean the treasures that your friends, neighbors, and colleagues consider garbage.

Strobist notes:
A vase sitting on a piece of slate with rice paper for a backdrop. The main light was an SB-600 shot through an umbrella from the camera’s right. An “on camera” SB-800 acting as the CLS commander was bounced off a reflector to the camera’s left and acted as the fill light.
