I would try this myself but the bun would not last long enough, then I'd only have a photo of the paper case and some crumbs Great description, and view of the set up, Thanks.

It's great just as it is. I really like the set-up shot here. From another photographer's perspective it's nice to see how others work! Gotta love the good old-fashioned sheet of A4 eh? haha. I also enjoyed the velcro on the flashheads. Perhaps a post on Gels at some point? Got a Honl speedstrap with snoots and grid last year. Very useful stuff. Finally the pane of glass is a terrific idea. I was asked to photograph some packaging (3 small boxes)this week and realised I didn't want it 'floating'. I bought a sheet of perspex to get the same effect as your pane of glass. Nothing to add about the photo. It’s great just as it is.
