One light in a hallway in Lowell

November 22, 2009

I spent the afternoon today hanging out with Rich, Ash and Anne up in Lowell. Rich, Ash, Mark and I have some fun plans coming up with the Help Portrait project, so stay tuned for that, and it was great to see Anne’s new studio space and play with her Profoto setup. We took the light outside for a bit, but when the battery conked out on us, we headed back to the safety of ye ole’ wall plug.

Rich in the parking lot:

One light in the hallway (setup shot at the end):

The light was pretty much the same for all of these, a 30″ Profoto Octa.

As always, more TK shortly.

    OK – that was too fast! I didn’t even take my card out of the camera yet! HA!! ;-) Thanks so much for coming out and putting my equipment to the Doug Levy test! I promise not to leave it locked up for another two years!
