Shooting in a very tight spot can be troublesome. Luckily these bathroom walls were white and extremely reflective. I had my son hold a hot shoe flash up against to where the ceiling met the wall opposite the tub, which nicely diffused and spread the light. Usually I’ll use my White Lightenings or Aliens Bees strobes, however the space didn’t justify me going downstairs to the car. This was the last set up of the day, and extra walking wasn’t part of the plan……neither was standing on a tub, but here we are.

Firing the flash remotely, allowed me to stand in an awkward position on the edge of the tub. Matt's wife was working from home that day and her office was very close to where we were shooting. She was never told we'd be photographing inside, so I wonder what was going through her mind when she heard three male voices come from the bathroom. I'm sure my footprints on the tub led to more questions after I left the house.
Always a good time when shooting in someone’s bathroom.
The final result, an image that is easily one of my favorites from the last few months.
