She is currently focusing on creative studio shoots, with recently our living room being used as studio.
And the most elaborate of the shoots was on a Sunday, which allowed me to sneakily join in.

The shoot was planned by my talented wife (just as a reminder, you can find her far more impressive pictures on her website kdw.photo).
She planned the shoot together with @csphotography. However, the first to arrive was the makeup artists@antiphong, shortly followed by the model @sako.pics. For the next 3 hours @antiphong transformed @sako.pics from a good looking japanese woman into a dark elf, while the rest of us talked and set up the studio. The final touch were outfits that were supplied by @ephemeralenchantment.
My plan had been to just snap a few pictures, and then call it a day. Or do some work on my computer, which is placed in a way that I would still be able to observe the shoot.
