I want to photograph a dark/light object (black leather and aluminum) against a dark background. I want the form/outline of the black part of the object to be w ell-defined against the background, which should be nearly invisible. I tried th is once in bright overcast light against very dark paint, but didnt get the form definition that I want. The edges tended to blend in with the background, givin g a shapeless black lump. I guess I'm looking for sort of a pepper #30 effect, w ithout the pepper. I would prefer to use only natural light, as its readily avai lable and still free in my area. Ideas on lighting and/or backgrounds are sought .
