I have known Liz for a very long time. Over the years, I have shot several family group sessions with her. She likes to keep her images up-to-date. It came as no surprise when she asked me to do a series of images just of her.

We shot several poses around her property. The one I’m focusing on here were taken inside her scrap-booking studio. It truly showed Liz’s love of scrap-booking. In photographic terms it is called an environmental portrait because the setting tells you something about the individual.

The room she uses for scrap-booking is small and pretty much full of her stuff. While there was a large window on one side this was not sufficient to fully light the room. I had to position my main light in the doorway from the hall. There was not enough room to position it anywhere else.

All of these images were shot on my Lumix G9 1/200s f7.1 ISO200 at an equivalent lens of 24mm.

Liz really like the shots as they she said they captured exactly what she loved doing.
