The boys decided to take on The Thing Under The Sofa.

I keep telling them there is NOTHING under the sofa, but for some reason they refuse to believe me.

I think their reaction was a bit out of proportion, don't you?

NOTE: The shadow on the backdrop on the second shot (above) is both real and completely due to luck.

I had no idea it was there until I looked the images on the computer.

The only thing I did to it was make sure today's heavy vignette didn't obscure it.

Did Someone Say Magnify?

Zachary: (gulp)

Zachary: "Ahhhh!!!!"

Mr. Spider

Awwww

Isn't He Cute?

Wait... Where's Henry?

The Thing Under The Sofa

Henry: "Zachary!!!"

Zachary: "How many times have I told you there is NOTHING under the…"

Zachary: "… sofa."

The Boys need to Beware the Dangerous Thing That Lives Under The Sofa!

Behind the Scenes

The setup for "The Thing Under The Sofa"...



The "sofa" is a folded cardboard tri-fold wrapped in a piece of faux leather, held up by four gold Solo cups.

The camera was sitting on the floor where the book is.

The usual flash (to the right, not shown, behind an umbrella) was lowered to about a foot off the ground.

The second flash is lying flat on its back, with a soft box, shooting -1EV.

The boys have a "Head Down" cue (my fist on the floor), making this shot a relatively simple one from my model's POV.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

"The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout...

Henry: "Itsy Bitsy?"

… Down came the rain
and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun
and dried up all the rain
and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again."

Who doesn't remember doing the hand motions that go along with this classic rhyme!

Zachary: (gulp)

Zachary: "Oh Mother, dear? Would you mind coming over here..."

Zachary: "… before it climbs much higher?"

Editor's Note: I could tell you that's a fishing rod canister standing before a sheet of plywood covered in "stone" wallpaper - but that would probably spoil things, wouldn't it.

On the bright side (pardon the pun) my second softboxed-flash did a splendid job of eliminating the otherwise annoying strong shadow that would have appeared on the left side of the image.
