sockeye salmon

The other week I rigged up a photography studio at home for shooting images for this site. I only spend a few quid too. It consists of:

  • a desk lamp with a translucent plastic sack over it to defuse the light
  • large sheets of coloured card from a stationary store
  • white pieces of cardboard to use as light reflectors
  • a bit of folded cardboard that stands a little over 1 foot or so tall to hold up the card
  • a few clothes pins for clipping the card and reflector on to the cardboard support

The light is not perfect so a tripod is needed and the card is too small for shooting anything large, but for an hours work, a few scraps and less than £40 spent it’s not too bad.

The photo above is fillet of wild caught sockeye salmon, left raw to show off the wonderfully red flesh. This salmon is best when planked which means to grill it on a cedar plank. Fantastic!
