2.63 - "Solid" 

When I moved into my current house I inherited a summer house at the end of the garden. I quickly claimed it as my office (read: my wife didn't want me in the house) and went about thinking how I could use it. Sadly, the Mrs saw it as a storeroom for all of my "rubbish" and I made some foolish pandemic decisions, like building a VoiceOver booth in one corner and an entertainment in the other. That left only a small portion of the back wall, a ceiling not high enough for effective flash and a window that cuts off any light over 5ft high.

Thankfully, with a stool, some dark green paint and a bit of creative posing, I've managed to get some halfway decent - you decide - shots. This one was natural light, with a bit of tinkering and a black V Flat camera right to take down some of the shadows.

Finally, add in the perfect redheaded model with a great look and you've got some results.

Kirk, great image of Caitlyn. Very relaxed.

Thanks Alan, very easy model to work with as I'm sure you're aware - and back on the scene, too!
