Over the past several years have had the privilege to gradually create a small in-home photo studio with professional strobe lights, soft boxes, light stands, suspended backgrounds, and an assortment of “grip” gear.
While the studio is a relatively small space (i.e., a 180 square foot room with 10 foot tall ceilings and linear dimensions of approximately 13 x 14 feet), it allows me to pursue and gain experience with portrait, beauty, glamour, boudoir, & product photography without having to leave home.
Elinchrom has been my monolight brand of choice since purchasing my first monolight kit in 2009. Today have four Elinchrom monolights and several softboxes plus other accessories specifically for use with Elinchrom lights.
This page is updated regularly as gear is added, removed, and/or replaced.
