This week will bring me a new background set with a white backdrop that will provide enough to do some photos of the kids on with ease, or some adult photos, should I find a willing victim. I am really looking forward to that! I have found a deal on eBay for some 60" umbrellas from Calumet for only £15 each, so I am starting to think that two of those will be on their way here soon. 60" is massive, and the price is spectacular! I need umbrellas as my Elinchroms came with a pair of soft boxes only, and while they are good, they are not the be all, and all to shooting! Getting a pair of the umbrellas means I will need one more dish for my lights, but I have found a great price on one of those as well, so that can wait till next month! Backgrounds to follow! Things are really starting to come together for my home studio!
I have not yet heard back about the digital camera from the insurance company. Fingers crossed, that will come out good. I would love to get hold of it when the background comes so I can really practice the infinite white! I am very excited to at last be getting this gear together so I can really apply myself to the trade.
Speaking of applying myself to the trade, I was meant to have a shoot with a friend and her mother and daughter, but she has been under the weather this week, and her mom is flying back to the States soon. I won’t be able to get the shoot because of the logistics, which is a total bummer because they are good people, and I would love to see this memory created for them.
