Caption: Freshmen Central Michigan University student Jolene Tacey, sits on a wooden rug at Grey's Furniture Store in downtown Mt. Pleasant, MI on Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Grey's Furniture Store features antique collectable furniture as well as unique architectural details like rugs painted on the floor.

Explanation: I had Jolene set on the floor and put the strobe to the left of her, then I set the strobe to low power and used the warm gold reflector to cast a soft light. I wanted to shoot in Grey's Furniture Store because it's one of the oldest buildings in Mt. Pleasant and has a lot of history. I wanted to use saturated colors like the green and red in the rug and her jeans, then tone them down.
