And where do you get movable walls at?  Does the company provide them or do you actually come up with the idea of finding them and using them?


That's basically just black mattboard from any art supply store.  The clamps, though, are custom made and not commercially available.  You start with a 5/8 to 1/4-20 adapter and hotshoe ball joint, both available at most camera stores and then the top part is machined out of aluminum.  I may just get a small milling machine to start making my own.

The walls were built by the furniture manufacturer (Not Portable).  I've also hired set builders to do walls like that.  They're typically 6'x10' or 4'x8' with drywall over a frame of 1x4's with right angle jacks screwed to the back and sandbagged.  We even hung some of the walls horizontally from C Stands to play with the planes a bit.

I actually really enjoyed composing the walls.  I'm usually at the mercy of the architecture... not this time!  It does require some pre-visualization and I found that challenge to be kind of exciting.

Looks great and thank you for sharing your set-up picture.  It's really valuable to see how you did the lighting.

I remember some "gentleman" telling me that all one needed was one light and a reflector!

I had thought about a long, thin Elinchrome light for low fill (normally used for textiles), but I have used a  low diffuser similar to what you use here.

Do you use a pro lens shade in the studio?  ...I have one of the Sinar 4 roller blind lens shades, which might be useful for this type of shot.

I can see what 15 of the lights do, but after that I get confused!

Just took a new client on and did a small exteriors only shoot of the first house he designed for people who wanted more then a box with siding.  Nothing terribly exciting; will be shooting a another much more interesting house of his at the end of August.

Bob, I've been donating portraits of people's dogs as an auction item to raise monies for my kid's swim team and schools.  I've enjoyed seeing your shots and they've given me an idea of what is possible.  If I get something worthwhile when I shoot them, I'll post the results.  Jim

Wow Bob! How did you make them pose and sit still for you? Are they all well trained or you have a magic trick?

Those Boxers were exceptionally well behaved. But, they're dogs, and I had a couple of people helping out.

Thanks for all of the nice comments everyone.

There's something kind of retro about these photos. I can't quite put my hand on it. I like them -- great model too.
