I recently started taking photos of the hats my partner has made so she can more readily promote her production design work. This one was made for something she worked on earlier this year.
As I don’t have studio lighting I improvised to try and get a good balance of light and I mostly succeeded. There are other photos where you can see the mannequin head, but I like this one as it makes the hat appear as though it’s floating in a void.
This is my submission into the two hundred-and-seventieth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “On Display“.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Week 1 – Tina
Week 2 – Patti
Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya
Week 4 – Amy
Week 5 – John Steiner
Week 6 – Sofia Alves
Week 7 – Anne Sandler
Week 8 – Donna
Week 9 – Guest host
Leya is curating this one. The next is curated by Amy.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.




Absolutely SH – floating is the perfect approach!
