The accompanying illustration shows a photographic studio and the manner of fitting it with blinds A and B and a head screen C. The blinds A are frames covered with muslin, and run in grooves. Two rows of blinds of different material may be fitted and arranged so as to overlap so that perfect control of lighting may be obtained. The blinds B are on spring rollers, and pull down from the roof. The head screen C may be swung at any angle or from side to side and fixed with thumbscrews. There is no advantage in having both sides of the studio glazed, though it is sometimes useful in taking Rembrandt pictures, or when the studio faces east and west. About 3 ft. from each end F may be left opaque, as the ends are never required. It is most important to be able to take the left side of the face when looking away from the light. Much, however, depends upon the situation and surroundings. The curtains D and E run loosely on a brass rod. The ventilators are shown at II.
