If I had a studio I would be a floor and two walls so I can simulate a room which could then be used to set up different types of shots….I guess this could be done in any corner. You can have phlearn workshops now. Have an live webcam of your studio so we can stalk you while you work. lol

Also all photos on my website are for sale and can be bought for any size, frame / unframed, matted only, take a gander and you can just email if you decide to get anything

I think it’d be great to see some type of direct video streaming. Like behind the photo shoot’s kind of thing but I guess you could do it with a webcam and post it online live at the time maybe? I’m not sure I’m terrible with ideas! =p

I’m sure at one point you guys are going to go out and buy wood planks and a plywood to create a faux room / set. Please do a behind the scenes video when that happens! I’ve always wanted to see one of those things happen from start to finish. Maybe you could just set up a camera and capture a time-lapse of the construction

great studio space! I would totally make a “fake room” a small space with a hardwood floor and a nice wallpapered wall behind it so that you can use it to fit various “indoor” space shots.

I’ve got some prints for sale at my etsy shop if you’re interested

Would it be possible for you guys to make an episode about curves in the near future? Keep up the great work!

well, I don’t have a studio, but in my lab I can’t stay without my moka machine! It helps to feel like at home. I guess it’s hard to find mokas and (italian) coffee in US. If you like, I will be glad to send you one (for free, of course).

Just let me know.

You can contact me on twitter, flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/zufus).

ciao!

4′x8′x2″ DOW board, you can paint them, wall paper them, more importantly faux finish them. Then, if you do two similar, you can wedge them with weight behind them. They have texture, they are architectual but they weight 2-4 lbs per. If you look at our Senior Pictures or on our http://www.facebook.com/seniorsat5280, you can see some of them being used. Totally portable and unlike a backdrop, you can lean on them and they take light like a real texture.

Probably a better one. Just sat on it’s side, also at http://www.seniorsat5280.com and our blog, http;//www.seniorsat5280.com/blog.

Cool studio.. wanna buy some of my stuffs? http://www.flickr.com/waseef

Well, you could get a wide angle camera and keep it in the corner still to show us the whole studio while you work. And for more ideas, you can check out Yuri Arcurs’s studio here if you haven’t already. – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4oVa1c67Bs , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYkNKP96b84

The thing that you could probably do is open the studio up a bit. You could create daylight in 2 ways.

1.) cut open 1 wall and putt in a big window, i would do that top to bottom for the biggest available light.
You could also do the same above your background, for a great natural headlight

2.) and cheaper haha, is to open the slide door we see in the beginning of your studio, and just use the natural lighting coming from there. The only problem with that is, is that your background is going to be in the beginning of your studio, and it could be anoying.

You really need a big ole’ LoveSac in your studio. http://www.lovesac.com/sacs.html
I just opened a home studio 24′ x 14′ and would love for you guys to take a trip to HomeDepot and give us some ideas on simple ways to create some neat backgrounds or sets.

I run a clothing line and the prints I use for shirt would be wicked on paper. Also we recently did 4 lipstick paintings. Here’s the links! http://www.georgebriggs.ca/collection/summer-2011 for the current silk screens we have going on and http://www.georgebriggs.ca/blog/2011/06/17/lipstick-painted-series/ for the lipstick paintings Hope you like them!

Can you guys do an episode teaching how to not only lighten but completely change eye color of a very very dark eye (like mine ) hahahaha?

I know you once mentioned that in one of your online classes but I can’t remember how to do it. I have really dark eyes, and I know how to easily lighten eyes of a blue/green-eyed person (Thanks to you of course). But, when it comes to my extremely dark brown eyes I don’t know how to do it. I want to know how to lighten them without looking orangy and also how to change them from dark brown to probably hazel, gray, or even blue without looking ultra fake.

Can you help with that? Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu in advance…. xoxo ♥

I agree with the idea most people have suggested about creating a smaller set within the studio (like the Truman show
I would probably so something with getting a huge curtain to tent the ceiling and string up some fairy lights- will cut down on the echo acousticness of it all too.

I was lucky enough to win a competition the National Tate Gallery Liverpool ran in conjunction with their Colour Chart exhibition and Flickr. They chose the winning entries and created a poster to mirror the actual exhibition poster with all the images represented.
You can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cornflakecouture/3935811576/

Maybe you could pick loads of different images (maybe Phlearn related) and create a giant poster Like those ones that actually make another photo- and it can be the image of you and avery against the chalkboard wall Like this:
