Photographing a Kodak Brownie Target Six-Twenty that is focused on a photograph.
I searched the Internet for a royalty-free photograph I could use and found this image on Wikimedia Commons. (alas, I cannot find the original link). I printed the photograph on regular paper and taped it on cardboard for support.
There are four light sources involved:
The primary light was aimed at the photograph and set to 5600K.
A fill light was set behind and to the right of the Brownie.
A small hand-held light was to the left of the camera to light the top.
Another small hand-held light was above and to the front right.
Both the hand-held light sources were too bright so I needed to layer parchment paper over the lights to act as a diffuser. This required muscle memory and a 10 second timer.
Here is the setup: (albeit this shows me using a 24-70mm before I changed to a 70-200mm).
