Trang Satterlee is an enigma of complex angles and backward glances. She can even make the simplest of foyers with pineapple-patterned lounge chairs and houseplants feel like the Ritz.

Lighting the Scene
Earlier in my experience as a photographer I may have been intimidated by this space; a simple room with windows, at night. Such is the power of knowing how to control light instead of letting it control me; I walked into the room with two speed lights (one main and one for fill) and got to work. 

With the right light and positioning, any space can feel like the "best" space.

Bonus Info: The elevator was dark so we popped a speed light into the corner.
It took two rides downstairs by itself.

The Lonely Flower, with Kollene Snow | Salt Lake Conceptual Portrait Photographer

Have you ever been stuck trying think of an idea, and then all of a sudden a tiny, fragile glimpse of something appears?

Doing so lends inspiration and  actually yields titles that resonate with me most often.  For this reason a quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte recently stuck in my mind. "I am no bird; no net ensnares me." I also remembered a behind the scenes YouTube video by fashion photographer Joan Allen that I found by accident years ago of a shoot using calligraphy on the skin to add a dimension of edgy elegance. Combine that with a kick I've been on about oversized objects and I knew what I wanted to do.  Months ago I draped my dress form, Maggie, with yards of purple cloth I picked up secondhand for a different photo shoot. The shoot turned out okay but didn't fully captured the potential I saw in that &quo
