IMPRISONED There really should be a couple of scrawny black rats running around in this shot, but I hate rats, and even if I found a couple to shoot and composite in I don't know how close I'd want to get.
WINE FOR ONE
WAITING BY THE PHONE This shot was lit using small strobes on manual settings and Cybersync radio transmitters, as the infrared line-of-sight Canon wireless system is pretty close to useless for a situation like this where the strobes need to be placed around corners away from view. I put one speedlite in an umbrella on a stand just out of view at the end of the hallway, bouncing light off the far wall to illuminate the background and put a slight rim light on her, and one speedlite in a snoot in a little bathroom (perched precariously near the toilet) just opposite her (camera left) to create the illusion of sunlight coming through a window. If I remember correctly, I had a touch of fill from an on-camera speedlite bounced off the ceiling. The phone was edited in from another frame during the same shoot.
