i was looking at the stairs in our apartment, and it occurred to me that they would make a really strong graphic element in a photo. so i moved our tv, and a bookshelf, set up an umbrella high camera left with a 42" white shoot through @ 1/2 power (all that power to cover the 7 feet or so it was away from me)..... then i set a light on a stand behind me, pointed at the wall behind my back for a high key contrast thing. pulled the trigger a couple of times, and there it is.
if this was a serious portrait, i'd get my photoshop on now and remove that lightstand from between my legs. but my goal here is interesting light setups, not practicing photoshop.
