Portraits of Andrew
Posted April 22nd, 2010 by Sean Phillips with No Comments
I got some new studio gear earlier this week (a brand new backdrop stand and black and white backdrops)! Getting new gear is always fun and I immediately dropped what I was doing and put this stuff into action. I needed this gear partially to replace some older multi-purpose equipment, but mostly because I really needed a dedicated backdrop. This equipment is much better than what I had been using and it will be faster and easier to setup and tear down than my old rig and it really is a pleasure to use!
I didn’t just setup the backdrop stand though; I put it to use with the rest of my studio equipment and made some test images. Unfortunately the only model I had available for most of the shooting session was me! I’m not going to share any of those images with you though. As soon as my little boy came home I was able to drop him onto the set. He’s a real ham and he loves to have his picture taken. He gets bored quickly though and I had to bribe him with some treats in order to prolong the session in order to finish my testing.
The new stand and backdrop performed flawlessly and I’m looking forward to being able to use them in my future portrait sessions.
