This week’s assignment was to create an image with lots of texture… and somehow, this brought me to cheese – Gorgonzola cheese.
I love the greenish-blue moldy marbled veins. I thought it’d be fun to illustrate the book, Who Moved My Cheese?, a funny business fable by Spencer Johnson.
I used some yarn to tie around the wedge of cheese and hung it from the ceiling. For the foreground, I spread some Hollytone plant fertilizer on my seamless backdrop. Two bare Speedlights on either side to capture the most texture. See the setup shot below.
Here’s my setup shot:
