Child photography & mobile studio
My daughter is in one of her rare moods last night and allowed me totake some pictures. Although I most often use natural light, I have the equipment for a mobile studio. It does not require a very big space, only enough to move around without tripping on the light stands or on each other.
The other day, I bought this black coffee table from Ikea. I wanted to use it for product photography but since I do not have a black train to attach to the background, I made the little girl stand or sit on it. In the end it was fun, I had my pictures and she have hers (which I am posting on her flickr account very soon).

That Ikea black table looks awesome – why do I keep forgetting about Ikea for studio props!
Cheers

Thanks Alan
There are a lot of things in Ikea that I want to use for props. Unfortunately I do not have much storage space so I just look and buy what I can integrate in the living room.
I love the last one w/ your little girl and the camera, too cute!
These photos are amazing! Very well done! You got a new fan of your work!
Swoon. She’s adorable!
