The Outdoor Studio: There is a type of portrait photography, and one which makes a wonderful specialty for those who have the flair to practice it impressively, which requires no studio lights at all and, indeed, not even a studio. This specialty is the pro¬duction of outdoor portraits or character studies.

On The Other Hand See Outdoor Room:AUTOMATION: Room lights, window shades and screens that drop down from the ceiling can all be automated and dramatically change the look of the room. One of the hottest trends, says Josh Christian of DSI Technologies in Studio City, is using motorized screens and one-touch technology. "We like to see a client with one remote that can lower the shades and dim the lights. That really makes it a high-performance multipurpose room."
That's the theme in outdoor furniture this season, as designers borrow what's fresh and fun from Interior Design and put it on the patio.
