Mariya helps me again

More experimentation in the natural light studio, this time with a real person. Regular readers may recognize Mariya, who has been an eager model for me from the beginning. I made a big miscalculation yesterday on how to shoot in the room, but I still managed to get some nice shots out of our hour together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did I mention this?

I joined Hatch Reno (see web site here), and as a member I get use of the studios (regular and natural light) for a certain number of hours every month.  Basically, the studio is set up using Sue Bryce’s specs. The studio has wide open north facing windows so the light in the studio stays pretty much the same as long as the sun is out. The walls are white and the light bounces around the room. Lovely.

I have a shoot at the natural light studio set up for tomorrow, but wanted to get the lay of the land today. So I took a look-see this morning and took advantage of the opportunity to get a few selfies in at the same time.

The studio comes with lots of props, wraps, and other lovely items, as well.

A few more . . .

A few more shots from the water shoot I participated in last Friday night.

Water!

Last Friday night, I had the opportunity to do a water shoot at Anicia Beckwith’s studio, Pixella Productions. Anicia is an amazing professional photographer based in Reno who offers studio space and workshops in her “spare” time. Her very large studio is northwest Reno was set up for us to shoot models in water.
