I finally have made headway on getting my photo studio space in order. Ultimately, I would love to have more space - lots of space…but alas, it is not to be so at this time. However, as in all design situations, there are limitations, constraints, and parameters that have to be worked within. That is always the challenge and challenges are to be met head on.  In my case, I am using the “bonus” room of the house which had been built into the lines of the roof structure, so there are diagonal wall sections running from the vertical to the horizontal ceiling.

I have the tabletop setup for a closeup shot here. I am using one Lowell Ego light and a 300ws Alien Bees strobe head fitted with a snoot for the shot.  I have the softbox fitted with a 600ws Alien Bees strobe head with counterbalance arm attached to make the overall scene shot (above).
