With this assignment I simply moved stuff around in my room. I drew the shades on my bay windows and reflected light off the window. I also used another desklight below the desk to shine on the chair.
For the second photo I really wanted to get a cool evil look. I was particularly inspired by the character in the film Night of the Hunter with Robert Mitchum. I have a mirror on top of a mantle so I simply shot an angle where I can could see me coming through the door.
