Aaron Anderson explains three portrait shots of a model taken in a motorcycle garage. Setting lighting rigs both inside the garage and outside its windows, Anderson painstakingly recreates optimal natural light, with some stylized artistic liberties all his own. The use of colored gels and smoke is covered, along with the importance of props. Anderson stresses how props can add or distract attention from the subject matter at hand, and explains how cleaning and set-dressing a location shoot can only enhance the mood any photographer is trying to create.
