Those photos are amazing mom. Reflectors?

I have a terrible work from home set up - the dinning room table. The last of the kids finally moved out, and I've only been able to fix up one of the bedrooms, which is for the grandson.

I've actually been working on a couple of Covid19 studies at work. One is a contract for tracing for a state (I had to talk them out of doing a mobile app) and the other is for a specimen database.

As far as my team, about half are always remote so no change there. The ones with small children are having a tougher time.

Ed, very cool that you are working on a Covid data base for tracing. That seems to be the new future.

A simple set up with window light, a black board with a cheap black curtain. I did have to adjust lighten and darken in PS. These were taken in the dining room. I have a backdrop, one light parabolic umbrella set up in the basement. The set has a cheap laminate planks for a floor. I'd like to get at least 2 lights for my set.

Here is the window light set up for my husband's triptych. I had him sit on the edge of the chair. I planned on using the white board to bounce light but instead used it to block the lower half of the window. The pillow on the chair raised up the black board with black curtain panel.

I thought you might have used a combination of black and white reflectors. Clever how you accomplished the same thing without them. I have a set of reflectors that fold up like a kids play tent. Haven't used them in years though.

I have one fold up large reflector. It is like a wrestling match to fold it back up. I use it mostly outside to create shade on a subject. In the triptych photos I could have used a small white card to throw some light on the face side. The desk box had 2 large 5 foot pieces of white foam board. I saved them and will tape together as a V-flat. Not sure if they will hold up, but worth a try.
