Wow!! What a fabulous studio. This was beautifully and thoughtfully crafted. Kudos to the owners!

You must have been giddy when you stepped in there. :lol:

#1 seems to be slightly backlit on the subject's face, but I'm viewing on my phone so I'm guessing a larger version is more forgiving.

I love each and every one. Just stellar work here. #6 is perfect in every way. #s 2, 4, and 5 are also standouts.

They all capture a beautiful retro style. Have they seen these?

Applause.

Thank you so much Terri!
My friend Sloane really did an amazing job curating this studio. Not pictured in these is also a very cool retro styled kitchen. This was my first time getting to use this studio, and I have since used it a few more times.
Yes the first one is intentionally backlit. I used a white V-flat to bounce some of the light back onto him from where I was positioned so I wouldn't lose too much detail.
The models have seen these. Most were very happy, though a couple of them haven't said anything about them in the weeks since I took them, which if I'm being honest does bother me a little bit, but oh well. I'm happy to have each of these in my body of work.
