This wedding ring photo was taken with a phone and a sponge

I saw this photo in one of the wedding photography forums I visit and got curious. I contacted Dor Sasson of Happy Days, the photographer and asked him how the shot was taken. It could not have bees simpler. The photo was taken with a “Real Camera”, but the scene and lighting were provide with everyday objects.

Dor shared that he saw the sponge glittering in the sun and it sparked an idea for a shoot (pun intended).

The phone was mounted on a found object pointing down at a kitchen sponge. (Similar to this one, but with red glitter). This provided some easy light and made the bokeh “glitter”.

 

The actual photo was taken with a Nikon D750  and a 105mm macro lens, but that is the boring part.
