I have no dedicated space here either but I roll up rugs, take down pictures, and push furniture to one end of the room. All you need is a few linear feet of blank wall, curtains, sheers in front of a window, etc. Also, if you shoot in the middle of say a living room and use wider apertures the background will blur out nicely and give a homey feel to the shot. During my shoot on Monday I used the family room (in front of vertical blinds covering the patio doors), and the living room (using light through a sheers-draped window). "Sunlight" was courtesy of a Pentax flash because it was overcast with smog at the time. :-( Often I use the dining room but I have to stand in the kitchen to shoot as the room isn't very wide. > I'm going to start asking around to see if there are any beneficent souls in > my circle of friends who might have a little space I can use from time to > time. I'd work that bar angle if you can. With a backdrop in place anywhere can be a studio. >>> I blame Bruce for all of this, of course. >> >> Well, you know where to find me -- wait: no you don't.
