Knock out wha . . . ?! A strong wind an' that'd be an outdoor studio!

I haven't attracted any models yet but, hey, at least I've got a changing room an' 'his 'n hers' facilities available.

Actually those types of decrepit structures make great places to shoot... I'd like to have something like that to shoot models in. LOL

Looks nice. Just curious though why you didn't move that outlet?
My wife convinced me that it would be ok just painted grey but I think I m just going to disconnect it and patch it closed. That will give me more functionality.

very nice!...I envy you.

though I'm rather surprised by your choices in backgrounds.
Thanks, And why surprised about the backgrounds? Black and White are the 2 most versatile colors. I have freedom to add more. May buy a red one at some point and I can hang muslins or other fabric backgrounds easily.

How did you get the right gray color at the paint store? Could you post the actual brand of paint and color name? Thanks.
I had a grayscale card that I took to Home Depot. Even then they detected a slight color cast but it was close enough and the clerks are hardly rocket scientists so I couldn't explain to them to take out everything except the black. Big thing is to select a base color that is pure white. Funny thing, the paint ended up almost an exact match tonally to gray primer. The actual paint was Behr Premium Plus Ultra Interior Flat (primer & paint combined). I can post the color recipe if you like but don't have it with me right now.

I actually Would say that grey is more versatile, but it's your studio setup.

Like Mel said... the walls (heck even the ceiling) are gray (grey). 50% gray to be exact. The black and white I mentioned were the colors of my seamless paper rolls. If the walls don't look gray to you (discounting the effects of the lights) then you may want to check the color settings on your monitor.
