Hung out wit my friend Amy tonight, we ate some sushi & then had a tea party! Fuck yeah, I don’t really drink tea, I’m a coffee man, but I tried it out for this shot plus we had Jammie Dodgers which are awesome! Lighting this was a challenge, the tea party scene had to be a hell of a lot brighter than the light hitting the camera. Not easy in a confined space with bright walls for light to bounce off. Good job I’m awesome!
