The studio is located in a very old building, the kind of building that has very deep windowsills. The window in the kitchen is right towards north. In a special time of the day, in a special time of the year, when the sun comes through a thin layer of clouds, it shines on the wall of a fairly high building to the opposite our kitchen window. The building has a warm, almost pink surface which is reflecting the light through the fairly dirty window which delivers a very rich, soft light.
That kind of light occured yesterday and luckily we happened to have some products perfect to be shot in this kind of light: A friend of my wifes has a nice business on Sicily, Citronodlingen, (The Lemon Orchard), at the foot of Etna. My wife had recently got some products sent to her from Citronodlingen for testing out and to tell about on her food blog.
This time it was chocolate, lemon cream, artichoke paste, and fantastic dried chili seeds.
The wall in the windowsill made a perfect backdrop and the light falling in through the window gave these jars with their delicious content a nice soft shine.
The Crema di Limoni is a complete success! And so is the Paté di Carciofi & Mandorle.
A tiny silver reflector to lighten up shadows a bit was all that was needed to get a good exposure here. I really like this light and I wish the window was four times bigger …
Really great shots, especially all the glossy parts of the chili flakes and candy.
In early December I did the chili flakes but without the glossy wrapping 
So it will become my turn tomorrow to get some nice pictures on the candy box and inhalt
Thanks for letting me have a peek! Have a nice weekend and say hello Sanna!
The chili flakes has such an amazing color I think!
Good Luck!
