This was a page in a display case at the Doha Museum of Islamic Art. It really caught my eye so I wanted a picture of it. The writing was nice but I didn't want it to be just a page of writing. For this shot I held the flash high and to the side. By holding it to the side I would bring out any texture in the paper and ink. By holding it high and very close I was able to have a cone of light that made some parts brighter than the others. Almost like a light from a torch or a searchlight.
Now it's not just a page. It's a page with very possibly a story.
