Ref photo:-
I may have second thoughts about this scene, but I'm going to start work on it anyway. It's my office which has no natural lighting, so everything will be mxi & emitter lit through out.
I guess I'll have to add a flash light from the camera too, to match the photo as closely as possible.
First modeling progress later today.
