When I started to work with flash strobe lighting I wanted something that would react a little differently with the light than a normal object. I decided on my pearl necklace because they were already shiny and I thought that the lighting would enhance their look. This photo stood out of the ones that I experimented with. The way that the bag is lit really brings out the texture. The partially lit string of pearls leads the eye through the rest of the photo, and adds sharp contrast to the background.
