This is my favorite photo of class today and it was taken with a side light spotlight with a honeycomb filter. The lighting from the side really brings out the texture of the leaves down to the small and soft hairs. The light from the side also allows the left side of the flower to fade to black, giving the feeling that the flower is emerging from darkness and reaching towards the light. The light from the side, pointed away from the background also allows the background to remain a deep black.
