Back in 2008 I decided to have a crack at studio photography. Figuring I’d more than likely continue with my efforts I invested in a modest setup (Paul C Buff) of a couple of strobes, softbox etc. including a roll of marine vinyl as a backdrop. This photo of a friend, taken in his dining room was one of a series for a self published book called The Hidden Self. Robin, being an actor was able to vary his look and pose with small movements and posture changes. This was ideal for someone starting out with portraiture. The final prints for the book were not in colour but warm toned B&W.
