Thanks! That is actually a wall in our bedroom. Since it's been raining - I couldn't go outside & shoot - so, I setup shop in the bedroom and let'er rip. It was fun - and a great learning experience! A a shop light from the garage & an old reading lamp.

Welcome to DPS! Awesome self portrait. I really like the background. Great use of lights. I have yet to do a self portrait... debating on that one
Can't wait to see more of what you got.
Take care!
