I created this as a flashy piece for my portfolio. Lighting this was definitely a challenge but after experimenting a bunch with different setups I came up with a pretty good looking one.
I created the chrome thorned vines using splines and scattered the thorns across the surface using a hair emitter.
To not get any unwanted reflections on the YSL logo at the top I moved it to a different view layer and comped both layers back together in Affinity Photo.
The frame's model number is SL 189 SLIM 002
Breakdown of how the lighting was set up + Comp & Adjustments. First 4 images show the lighting groups individually.
