teenager Vs homework

Zoe is now a teenager. Of course as her uncle I'm legally allowed to keep telling her she's only 11 but she takes it in her teenage stride of a shoulder shrug and walks off with her head bowed over her mobile phone. Still I did get from her she didn't like doing homework so told her I knew the best thing to do - a photo about boring homework. She loved the old typewriter and claimed it was almost as interesting as being on Snapchat, whatever that is.

 

My wife and brother-in-law were on paper-throwing duty, one on each side just out of shot. Decided to use my 50mm lens as that doesn't get the love it deserves but I had to back out of the room, along a small corridor and into our dining room to be able to frame this shot. Also had to take a door off its frame just to give me a few more inches to the left of the image.

 

Photo inspired by a recent Gavin Hoey video.

 

Strobist info: Two Godox AD200s were used. One camera right in a 60cm square softbox as the main light; the other camera left in a 30cm square gridded softbox for fill light. Both triggered wirelessly.
