This is my kitchen/dining room repurposed as a tabletop studio:

We were doing some video work for a shoe company that evening (my friend Alex is busy removing lint from one of the models there in that picture).
It actually works fairly well for portraits too. My girlfriend doesn't mind that I leave the paper + stands against the wall (rolled up though), and the table is easy to move out of the way if I want to do a quick shot of someone.

May I ask what kind of track that is on the tripod? It appears to allow the camera/ballhead to be repositioned side-to-side.
Correct...a QB1+. I was using 5 speedlights and ran out of charged AA batteries so I used that on one of them. I usually use it at weddings when I put a speedlight on a stand at receptions so I don't have to worry about swapping batteries out while I'm there.

That's an unusual seppa; is that a modern replica, or a genuine nihonto?
It's real, circa 1680 (ish). Wakizashi length. Iron tsuba, temple dog menuki, leather wrapped handle. Scabbard is black lacquered wood. Blade is pretty nice...has a couple of nicks in it. Bet it could tell some stories...
