Let's Be Independent Together

     I enjoy working on this series, and I found it a lot easier to work with a larger space. I focused each position by sitting there with the camera, focusing on my tripod head, and locking it in. I also bounced light off my entire kitchen as a fill light. I wanted the lighting to read as very natural, and I wanted hard evening light coming in through the windows. I wanted to capture who I am when I am alone, and a big part of that is my refusal to turn on lights when they aren't completely necessary. A large part of my heart belongs to Agatha Christie, so The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, my favorite book, made a guest appearance in this photo.
