Playing around with lighting and posing ideas for this year’s Christmas Portrait, and reminding myself of the details of using my lighting kit. Yes, I know the strobe umbrella is visible in the reflection; I think it adds to the charm.

Finally mastered the Holgamod light leaks with gaffer’s tape! See more on Flickr.

(Note: I scanned these while still in their nifty negative storage sleeve, so I picked up a lot of dust and cat hair and other indignities, of which I only removed the most offensive. If I ever decide to print them, I’ll rescan, but not until.)
