In addition to photography and filmmaking one of my other passions is woodworking. I utilize my studio space as both a workshop and a studio. When I’m done making new projects we clean up, set up the still life photography equipment and make some nice photos of the finished pieces!

Gillian gets free reign to make whatever she wanted here and I just light, compose and hit the button.

The boxes are made out of zebra wood with maple inserts and glue. I try not to use any nails or screws in my pieces if it can be helped. The lighting is all natural light with just a couple foam core books and a diffusion scrim to block or reflect light from the desired direction. Very simple, but very engaging results. I love how the wood pops off the dark cork background.
