This was my first real try with setting up a photo and using light stands. Got a lot to learn but I think I'm hooked!

I'm not really sure what I was going for with lighting haha. This was my first time putting a shot together so I kind of just winged it. I want to see what I can come up with having full control over the environment. The lighting I used were some cheap usb lights and I think I need to soften the light on them more somehow.

I'll look into ISO next, I'm still using the auto function while I figure some things out. As for the strip of sewing I noticed after that I could have used it to "direct" the eye to a specific feature but honestly the backdrop was just a placeholder. I saw a blog about home studios on the cheap and am gonna get a black sheet, but stores were closed yesterday and I didn't want to wait haha.
