the photography and design and film and life of matthew golden

So as I said in the last blog, I'm venturing into some 'studio' work. I use ' 's because I don't have a studio, I have a basement. I'm in the process of ordering some seamless paper and making the shooting area as legit as possible for as absolutly as cheap as possible. Like I said, I have no experience at all with seamless photos, so my friend and I set up a test/ghetto rig. I'm talkin' cardboard 'barn doors' and a stinkin' box spring mattress. Check out the stuff before judging our ghetto setup- i was really pleased with it.



The main challenge was the size of our background. I'm excited to get the 9' wide paper and some tileboard to do some full body shots. The box spring was really limiting in this department.

I'll update on the progress of the mini 'studio'. It would be a sin for me to not throw out Zack Arias's name into the mix. His series on Cyc walls and seamless shooting is pheneminal. I literally have learned every little thing i know about photography from this guy. Ok well and a little from the strobist blog too!

enjoy!
