Hey Mike, the environment is my studio, so what's outside the frame is lightstands and cords (kitchen to the left). I could come up from the bottom, but there's nothing to give at the top. Left side is film edge as is the right.

Nothing too close on the tattos, they are accessories (like the jewelry) that enhance her personality, which was my primary interest.

I liked the contrasts between her round feminine body, friendly demeanor, and the spikey hair and storm trooper boots. The tattoos and piercings, that closer shots reveal, accentuate these mixed attributes... all clues to what's goin' on inside her head. A really fine person. That seques into that issue of friends or strangers to photograph. I use photography as an excuse to narrow the gap between these extremes...t
