Hi all,
I am just starting up a business doing on-location (as in, the parents' home) child photography. From time to time I'll be photographing newborns. In an ideal world there would be stacks of natural light but of course I can't be lucky every time.
I don't particularly wish to overpower a poor newborn with full studio lights, however it would be good if I could use my SB600 in some way.. the more diffused the better. I can't guarantee that bouncing would always work (e.g. pink ceilings etc!) so I probably need a solution on the flash itself both off camera and on camera. I already have a fong diffuser which helps a little but it's still too much for a little baby.
There seems to be an absolute ton of options, so can someone help me narrow it down? I don't want to spend an absolute fortune, but I'm willing to spend a bit for the right thing.
Thank you very much!
Rosie
