(Basic package also includes use of backdrop, but this was not desired for this booking)

So, if you take away the lights and backdrop, what are you left with?  Someone taking snapshots of people playing with props.

What were you doing for lighting?  What shutter speed and aperture did you use for the party at the green curtain house?  I see catch lights but it looks like one light and power/exposure seems to be all over the place.  Some are bright and some are quite dark.
