Barrel of monkeys

New photos from the studio. I was playing with a light table and some toys this time. And is there anything more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Since the light table is shaped like a steep slide I taped the barrel to the back and then taped two monkeys inside the barrel and let the others hang from those. I like how it turned out. I have a Gumby toy I am going to shoot next time.

Is the shadow from the barrel?

Because I was using the light table, it was illuminated from all sides. I had to simulate the shadow. What I ended up doing was taping a piece of cardboard that I cut to try to be the size a shadow might be from that distance. Bad special effects I know, but still fun. It was my first time using the light table, and next time I am gonna take some photos of a Gumby toy I have.
