How to create leading ines in a simple corridor to bring power to an image

Both models and photographers have the bad habit of squaring everything off to the camera. The model tends to turn her body direct to camera, although on the whole she will look better with a turn to the side.

Dance Meltdown

Models can sometimes be the worst posers, especially when it comes to being relaxed and natural. They become so practiced at the perfect pose and the perfect expression that this can sometimes get in the way of that more natural look.

Fur Coat

Red Sofa

Black and white and red all over - no it's not a newspaper, it's our strongly themed set. The core red and white sofa and cove are already strong, so we need a black outfit rather than coloured to keep all the colours strong and contrasting.

These giant lightboxes are used to create a portable hi-key backdrop. Normally you position them against a wall - put one or two strobes to pump light inside them.
