I recently stumbled across some studio shots from a few years ago and it really reminded me how much I miss having a proper studio space to work in.
These are from a shoot a shoot with a stunning model with a very unique look, Elana.
Thing that struck me about these was the way the modifiers cast light on the model. I still own all the same lights and modifiers I had back then, but what I don't have is the space to effectively get the most from them. Its a benefit of studio's thats not often mentioned.... they're big. That might sound like I'm stating the obvious but with space comes the option to put lights exactly where you need them, position the subject a reasonable distance from the backdrop (if needed) and just generally structure the lighting, position of the model and yourself exactly how you'd like without compromise. There's a lot of benefit to having those options.
I have a small studio space that I work in these days that certainly gets the job done. Theres a certain look from these I think I'd struggle to get though with my current studio space though.
