Exploring my room, Sketching and Photography

To have a better understanding of my space, I uncovered my houses' floor plan to examine its general proportion and sizing...



and translated this into a rough sketch for model making and understanding how my space is currently used by me.

While it is normally a bedroom, I removed the bed and have already turned the room into a working, albeit messy, studio space for me to use.


The space has been particularly useful for this course in model making as well as in isolation in general due to quarantine.

Importantly, I needed to set up a means of photography to capture adequate quality photos for my model.

I used a A1 white cardboard sheet and taped it onto a cloth I had suspended.
Unfortunately, this setup did not have enough space for the models to stabilise flat and firmly for photography.

Hinges on my sliding mirror in my room...


... which I used to attach a white cloth onto by clipping them with bulldog clips.

I had also considered using two sheets of A3 foamcore has a suitable backdrop.
I ultimately decided against this and just used the sheet in isolation as the setup for photography as the two sheets created a 'horizon line' which meant the background of the models wouldn't be seamless.
