07/10/2011 Portrait into the sunset :)

07/07/2011 ***Waiting for the gentleman caller?*** Nope. She's too young for gentleman callers and that's not really a window anyway. It's the Frankenlight soft-box again. Thank you all so much for the kind comments on yesterday's image with Celine and the Frankenlight :) I think it's going to be a fun addition to our portrait tools.

07/06/2011 ***Angelic Celine*** I wanted to be able to create the window blow out effect without having to use a window. So David bought some PVC piping and some king sized fitted sheets and built a giant homemade soft-box. Isn't he nifty? I hung window sheers in front of his "Frankenlight soft-box" and we had instant window. When Celine stepped into the curtain and wrapped it around herself, the result was almost angelic. The Frankenlight soft-box window will definitely be part of our glamor portrait set.

Not as pretty, portable, or efficient, but it works.]
