First shoot in at-home studio

First shoot in at-home studio

 

So I recently cleaned out the empty room in my basement and built a bare-bones (and dirty cheap) home studio. The walls were already white, the floor is a nice dull painted concrete surface, and there are lots of power plugs on every side of the wall. Only downside is the relatively low ceiling, 7 ft, so I know I’m going to be limited to small projects…

To try it out, my buddy Andrés Cacciamani (who’s a natural talent) graciously agreed to model and help me stretch the new studio’s muscles…no pun intended =p.

Look out for a full gallery feature of Andy’s talents soon on my other little site:MISTERDING.COM
