Painting with Light

Ok, this was done for an photography assignment. Basically I needed to do three photos which could work together in a set for an advertising campaign. This particular set I had in mind for an insurance sort of company. All hypothetically speaking of course. The caption I put on each to hand in was "Protecting your treasures".

Anyway, it was done using a magical technique we learnt in class called "Painting with Light". That's what gives it the dark, warm glow effect. I rather like it. Tricky to get just right though. I had to do over 60 shots to get these three that I liked.
