WOW! These are so delicious looking. You take my eye candy and by polishing and cleaning up the details you make it ten times yummier!

The great classical painters distinguished themselves by having an eye for lighting, and you really SEE my lighting.
I was lucky to have over ten years of gaffing and cinematography experience when I began my still photography of Tiki style, and so I knew how to make my mugs glisten, gleam, and glow.

They are lit by Kino Flos, a lighting system developed by German Canadian Gaffer Frieder Hochheim during the shooting of "Bar Fly" (how appropriate to use them for Tiki mugs). Their "sheen" highlights really bring out the sculptural qualities of the mugs.
