Hello, great explanation. I was a professional photographer in the 1980s. To make this picture you needed several sources of light and only a first shot. There was no photoshop, this software has revolutionized the techniques of shooting, it's exciting to observe this evolution.

In my Amazon shop ( link under all videos) I have 2 frames, maybe a bit smaller. I buy Savage at www.cameranu.nl, only European shop I found, maybe they have frames too?
