I've been cleaning up the studio/office and throwing stuff away like crazy. I've tossed out white formica and endless worn frames and pounds of shredded old invoices and correspondence. As the studio becomes less visually cluttered my desire to do more portraits seems to grow. Clean slate syndrome.
I was heading out the door to buy another roll of seamless just now. A light brown. Kind of a burnt sienna. But I detoured to Michael's art supply store instead and bought a tube of acrylic paint that matches perfectly. I'd rather paint what I need on the endless sea of white seamless I already own. Seems more fun and wastes less paper. Also saves me a long drive through our "treacherous" arctic conditions....still 26 degrees here in Austin. Now, where did I put my paint brush?
The above was shot in the studio against a black background. Main lighting is a medium octabank while the backlight and side light are both small soft boxes used in close and at very low power. Shot on a Kodak DCS 760C camera with a Nikon 60mm micro lens. f 5.6-8

Lovely picture... "treacherous arctic conditions"... I previously offered hamburger therapy believing you were tossed cruelly from your element and genuinely troubled... now it would appear you are deliberating courting a mocking...
my suspicion is you will get it...
Errrrrrm . . . would those twenty-six degrees be of the Fahrenheit or Centigrade variety? (Or Kelvin I suppose, buteven I'm not that foolish).
;)
