Catwalk Studioz Grand Opening

I went to the grand opening celebration at Catwalk Studioz on May 15 and did a few hours of shooting. Thanks to the gracious hospitality of Joseph Philbert and his wife this was a fun event for all.

I ran into my shooting partner Vox early in the day. We each had brought along one studio light.  Joseph let us set up in an enclosed loading dock area and gave us a canvas drop cloth for a backdrop. The space was only 7 feet high and that became an issue with one model. Emery Wallace in the pic below is 6’2″ and played small forward at Maryland.  The first thing I did was ask her to remove her heels. We then got her into poses that would deemphasize her height relative to the space.
