God, I wish I owned a gold chain with a nice medallion on it... It would have completed the ensemble.
When I saw this challenge, the first thing to pop into my head was the movie "Swingers", where everyone referred to anything cool as "money". It came out in 1996 and is stil one of my favorite movies. This shot is my attempt to get close to the movie poster, except I put in a "money" green background. I think this will get hammered in score as it's extremely title-dependent, but I actually learned a lot this time around in terms of lighting.
I had one large octabox lighting my front, one medium softbox lighting my back-left, one bare bulb hitting my background at an angle, and I made a makeshift snoot to light up the martini glass (that's water and olives, by the way. I'm not a vodka man.)
