grasshopper 04

slightly different angle, than the last one.


found this little grasshopper, clinging to my window-screen.

i used my dad's broken external flash: along with a 6" round reflector (the kind you would find on a clamp light), diffused with a few sheets of tissue paper. the flash was fired multiple times manually, from the above/back, the left, and the right.

the surface was a piece of glass, from an old wooden k-mart picture frame; covered with a thin film of water.
beneath that, was a black velvet sheet.
