Sometimes, when I do a shoot at my home studio, it means my subject is a living, breathing, creature of free will. My more regular subject, Architecture, doesn’t talk back, run out of frame, start to cry, or just plain get tired. So, when I shoot in studio, I tend to get any anticipated technical and creative elements prepared in advance of my subject’s arrival on set. {Chewie can be such a diva.}

I don’t have any fancy, Vanity Fair, behind-the-scenes video footage to offer you of the efforts. But we here at Sequined Asphault Studio have something – the final shot recorded before the subject steps in – we present to you a new feature: ‘The Stand-in’.

I’ll let you and Roostie discuss what he’s doing here… Sometimes even the stand-ins get unruly. This one forgot he ever learned the rule of thirds.
