Who am I?

My name is Michael Severin and I am 18 years old. I have always loved photography but have just now gotten around to really pursuing my passion. The reason I love photography is because the world around me is beautiful and I want other people to be able to share my experiences through a photograph. I am trying to convey feeling, emotion, and meaning through my photography. I am always looking for new things and people to photograph so if you are ever in need of a photographer feel free to contact me via email at mrseverin09@hotmail.com

Seamless White Wall Day 1

So a buddy and I decided to build a seamless white wall (cyc) wall in his basement. We found plans for one online for around $300 and decided we could build it for less and we did. How did we do it? Here is a list of the supplies. 1) 102" x 12yd Savage seamless white paper. $55.00 2)3/4in galvanized steel poll and two end caps. $25.00 3)Two giant carabiners. $5.00 4) Whiteboard. $15.00 Total cost $100 We put two hooks into the ceiling and clamped the carabiners onto them then ran the galvanized steel pole through them with the paper on it. Unroll the paper, lay the whiteboard on top of it and you have yourself a seamless whitewall. This is definitely not the best rig but it works great. We set up two SB-600's as back lights and used another SB-600 as our main. That is all the lighting we used since we can't afford giant 1600W alien bee's but it served the purpose. Here is a picture before photoshop and it again after phtotshop.
