Working in Small Spaces

There were many times, early in my career, when

I wanted to work in small spaces but decided

that there was no way I could possibly handle

the technical issues. So, rather than even try, I

walked away.

Many of those small spaces were in the "burned

out house" where we learned virtually everything

we know about light. Time and again, we tried to

master lighting small spaces only to walk away

frustrated, if not bewildered.

In August of last year, I found myself in a situa-

tion where all the spaces were small. It had been

almost a decade since I had worked with Akira

Feathermoon Cheyenne and I really wanted to

create some very distinctive images with her.

So, I had to confront the very problem I had al-

ways tried to avoid: Working in small, confined

spaces.
