My Childhood Toys

Landhes, a friend of mine, taught me about this simple lighting technique for the product shoot.

Finally, I tried it at home and experimented on my old toys. I used 1 studio lamp with a transparent umbrella, 2 reflectors (1 styrofoam board and 1 mirror) and a dirty plain white background.

Here are the results.

Tambak Lorok Fish Market

My Mom usually buys fish, shrimps, squids, and other sea products here in Tambak Lorok Fish Market. It is so famous for its fresh and low-price products. They taste good too, just like everything in the modern market but with half the price. (it’s pretty much why they taste good. hahaha)

Everything here is done traditionally. No fancy boats and high-tech machines. It’s just them and the nature. You can see how the fish are dried in pictures below.
