To read all about taking a fun object into an unusual setting and playing around with 6 different lighting settings to create different colored photos click on these pages from Creative Photography Lab to enlarge. I can personally attest to the fun you can have with this photography concept. I photographed a vintage Barbie doll while I drove back and forth across the country. She sat proudly on the dash as we drove but came with us as we stopped and saw the sights.
