Soft as a baby

Photographing fabric proved to be harder than expected. Not only was it harder than expected, I decided to add another level of difficulty to it by choosing to use my one year old son in the first image. To showcase fabric in its true essence you have to show it doing what it was made for. This is why I chose to use my son. This duck towel is a babies towel and it was a soft towel, so what better way to showcase this than to put it on a soft skin baby. I used a soft box on camera right as the main light to give soft shadows and filled in the shadows with a regular Speedotron head, that was on camera left and a Farrel light above.
