Al,
This is a fairly straightforward flash job of keyless chucks. The chucks are placed on a mirror that reflects the background of black velvet so they appear to be on a shiny black surface.
The aim was to show a very simple light set up and particularly the use of black flags to reflect dark areas onto the shiny subjects to enhance their form.
Attatched is an explanitory behind the scenes shot, and a comparison of using a single overhead flash, and of adding a second flash to act as a fill light. All of the light from the second unit was reflected by the reflectors.
I hope this is of some help.
Don
