A studio set with AlexW

100105 AlexW 01

My 2010 new years resolution was to hone my skills in areas I have not explored in 2009, and high on my list is studio photography. Alex worked with me on a set in the graffiti-filled backstreets of St Peters late last year, and it was a delight to have her back again.

When I said "studio", that's a fancy word, it's just a cleared-out corner of my apartment. It presents unique challenges: lack of space, and plethora of crap in the background. But sometimes, you just have to work with what you've got. Everyone wants to own a 1d mark II believing it to be the magic wand to their photography, but in the absence of the wand, we might just have to make the most of what's there. The only regret I have with this shoot is the creases on the backdrop.
