Welcome To My Studio - UPDATED

[princer7]

Thank you, Everette!!

If I recall correctly it is 16'x20'. I had a dining room table with 6 chairs and a leaf that took up a good part of my usable space. Had a photo shoot yesterday and is was so nice to not bump into everything. One thing that I would like to figure out is how to fashion the adjustable bar with a pully that raises and lowers evenly from both sides. Counting chain links is not very speedy.

Like I said I am jealous... Lol I don't do a while lot of studio work but when I do its usually in the living room with everything pushed to the side... So I understand the bumping into everything! Hopefully someday I can dedicate a room for a studio!

Green with envy. Wish I had a room that would work for that.

The move was a prime opportunity for us to make it happen. We lucked out to find one with an extra space. The move would have happened regardless. My husband has been awesome helping to put it all together and offering encouragement. Now I need to grow it into a successful business.

My door is always open, Clifton.

Jennifer, on the muslin, while it is still hanging, fold what is on the floor, width wise a cpl of times, then start rolling it up, and it doesnt have to be neat. When you have "rolled" it up to the point where you are now at the bottom of where it hangs down, wrap it inside "itself"
By doing it that way, it is out of the way, off the floor, and wont be in the way.
I will try to do some photos as examples this evening.

You are more than welcome to stop by some time Tim. If you ever need a space for an indoor session, my studio is open to you as well.
