As a photographer I use several methods for fine art photography. Here is my best. On a light table place a thin white piece of cloth. Then place a open knit black silk scarf over the white one. Photograph from above at app.45 degrees. Use only the light from the table for one shot then try quartz light from the rear of the object. for special effects, bunch up the black silk scarf behind the object. Try it, your like it.

​

Fantastic photography and advice.
