Very nice photo! Good points Sean. The strobe outside through fabric is a good one, I just wished I didn't live on the second floor of an apartment!


I may try a similar shot again sometime with a window or a blinds gobo instead to create an illusion of a "window". At the time I couldn't figure out how I could go about creating window shadows when I was bouncing off a big wall. I may just have to rip one of my blinds off my windows for that one []
