Melissa Rodwell, a royal shoot

Melissa Rodwell is a truly talented photographer who I absolutely love, not just for her photographs but her willingness to openly talk about the fashion industry and her experiences as a professional photographer.  Above all I love watching the behind the scenes of her shoots, this one being a royalty inspired shoot that has a touch of gothic/darkness which tends to be Rodwell's signature.
  

What really stands out to me in this video is that when locations like an old mansion or castle are not readily available that one is created in six pieces to create a small but very well used set.  For what appears to be maybe a 10x10 set comes off in the final image as being much more vast than the small space.  The windows add an additional illusion which makes the space appear even larger.
