I knew the party would be distracting, and that I wouldn't have the ability to plan a sitting, as is my habit.  So, after doing the Makeshift Guest Room Studio images, I ask Yulia if there were any kind of images she'd like to do.  She suggested that I could better utilize my house, so for the rest of the sitting, we did.  The morning sun was bright this particular day, so we were able to use natural light.

At one end of the guest room is the bed; the makeshift studio was along the same wall at the other end of the room.  Here is the opposite wall; there's a little area nestled between the wall & a closet.  There is a skylight, under which is a nice table & some chairs.  We start utilizing the house by having Yulia pose on the table, under the skylight.

We wander the house.  The guest room is at the top of the back stairs, so our next stop is here.  I move past Yulia & photograph her from the landing at the base of the back stairs.

Here, Yulia enhances my reputation with my next door neighbors.  (Not really -- the house next door is currently vacant).  I am liking the wide angle lens distortion -- this is a large space made to appear even larger with the wide angle lens.  I then come up with an idea of a sequence of images, with the lovely Yulia walking by me & going up the stairs.  Look!

For the first time, I put the teeny, tiny digital camera on my big honkin' tripod, and that helps keep the framing of these images consistent.  While there are some nice individual images, I like the sequence the best.  There are more images from this sequence than are presented here.  Those of you with access to the Out Takes Galleries will be able to see the entire sequence, cobbled together into one animated GIF image.

Did you see the one image (a few images ago), with Yulia standing tall & straight, with her right foot in the patch of sunlight, and with that big, big smile on her face.  That's Yulia.  Not the model, the person.

 

 

Having milked the back stairs for lots of images, we move to the front of the house, the living room.  The living room windows face west, and this was morning, but there is a 6 story building across the street, and there's plenty of light bouncing off that building's windows to provide some nice light in the living room. 

This sitting concludes with Living Room As Is
