Financial concept using an acoustic guitar with silver coins as the tuning pegs
It may be considered the root of all evil, but money is also the inspiration for hundreds of the best pop and R&B songs since rock music started making parents nervous decades ago.
With that in mind I wanted to create a music business concept image using an acoustic guitar. I started by removing the original tuning pegs and replaced them with half dollars. Under studio lights I angled white sheets of foam board on the coins to get the reflection and contrast desired.
I used a slate grey paper background to compliment the colors of the guitar and the coins. The scratches and logo were removed later in post-production.
The camera settings were ISO 100, 100m, f7.1, 1/1200sec
