"My 100mm macro is my workhorse product lens. No distortion, macro ability, perfect. I recently watched a video of Alex Koloskov of photigy.com shooting a shaver where he used a wide angle lens to bring out the product in a unique way. As soon as I saw that I could not wait to try it with my widest lens, the Sigma 35mm 1.4. Distortion is a beautiful thing that took this shot to the next level!
Lighting: Softbox on the right a bit behind and above the speaker with a flag controlling it. Striplight behind the left end of the speaker as a kicker. Light with green gel on the background close, no grid! (The background color was changed in post)" -Avrohom Perl
