Home studio - simple design and a first portrait image.

I set up a simple home studio this evening and had my beautiful wife to pose for me. I used a 50mm prime 1.8 lens. Settings were f4, 1/100s. I used a large collapsible Neewer back drop, small stool, a 50x70cm Raleno soft box. I like what I did, and its a pretty clean image. I will do more of these, and would like to take family portraits too. This is set up in the spare room. I closed all the curtains, and made sure all light was eliminated except for the soft box.

I’m happy with the result, and look forward to doing more for sure, a nice starting point for my new website.
