This studio with the amazing wall was big and dark, no windows and about 800 sq feet with a 16 foot ceiling. There was a door in the back that opened onto an old stair well. It was dirty and dark because no one in the building used it, I think it was only a fire escape..... If you were willing to try it. I loved it!!!! It made the space special and so much bigger, I would always have the door open.
The way my lighting worked in the space was great, it would light the subject and have enough space to naturally fade away into the darkness. Having that much space was a real gift. Some day I hope to have a big space to work in again and maybe a window.....
