I swear, the simplest tasks are sometimes the ones that throw you off-track the most.
I
need a profile picture of myself for an upcoming business-related project.
Simple,
right?
Well,
no.
To
make a long story short, Desiree and I spent the better part of two hours
bouncing around the house trying to find the best light and background, taking dozens
of photographs in the process. While we
found good light in several rooms (I also have a couple photography lights I
use when video recording online training), the backgrounds did not please us.
Eventually,
we found the perfect background but in the absolute most difficult spot in the
house; the den.
The
den is difficult because it is presently filled from top to bottom with the
furnishings from a bedroom we are remodeling.
After settling me in my office chair at my desktop computer, Desiree
scrambled up into the pile of bedroom furniture – alongside a photography light
we pitched there – to bracket a few images.
Following
several runs at adjusting my position and changing the balance of lighting,
Desiree finally captured an image we liked.

The
Final Image
