Months of preparation culminated in my "red chair project," a studio shoot I envisioned and finally executed. I painted the chair specifically for this idea, and Madeline's posing and stunning presence were key to bringing the concept to life. The bold reds of the chair, phone, heels, and lips stand out against the depth of the shadows. My lighting setup included a Godox AD600 with a Glow EZ Lock 25" softbox as the key and a Godox AD200 with a 7-inch reflector dish for fill. The settings were f/7.1, 1/100s, and ISO 100. The shoot was accomplished on August 3rd 2025.
