Zachary is your classic ball-obsessed retriever.

Have I mentioned that Henry is really, really sweet?

Daily Dog Challenge 1016. "Concentration"

Per Reader Request...

My Studio...

… otherwise known as my Kitchen.

This is were the vast majority of my pictures are taken and this is the setup I use the vast majority of the time. It goes up every evening and is completely removed when the shoot is over.

My favorite stretchy black velvet is binder-clipped to the cardboard tri-folds (think "Science Fair") which are in front of the gas range.

I use two tri-folds, one binder-clipped about a foot higher than the other, in order to give me a bit of extra height. A rubber band on left side and another on the right hold the binder-clips to the cabinet knobs and keep everything snuggly in place.

The reflector - just a sliver from this angle - is clipped to the fridge handle on the left.

The CFL (turned off) is behind the umbrella and in front of the dishwasher on the right. My Speedlight SB-700, usually my main source of my lighting but also off at the moment, is tucked in there as well on its own stand.

This is a wide aperture, slow exposure shot as my main lighting sources were off so you could see them.
