 It took quite a bit to get the lighting on this just right. I wrapped one of my flashes in ziplock bags, placed it in a bowl and covered it in crushed ice. I then rested the figurine on top of the ice. I used a second flash to blow out the backgroud.

I then used a papertowel tube and made a snoot out of it to fit my third flash. The lighting isn't perfect, I don't like her shadow on his shoulder and the blown-out spot on her gold ribbon is irritating, but I had to make some sacrifices to get the shape of the light near the bottom.

What can I say, this is my first "light on white" photo! I'm really happy it turned out at least half decent. WooHoo!
