Hi all,
I've got a spare room that I intend to use as a studio for portrait shots, it'll be more so focused around capturing beauty shots/family portraits.
The room is at my disposal, so I'm thinking painting it white and blocking out natural sunlight via blinds will be a good idea. Floor will be white, wooden flooring at the moment, but I was thinking of covering it with something and painting it white, and re-painting should foot prints start appearing.
The room will be lit by energy saving daylight bulbs, I can fit multiple bulbs if need be. Heat isn't an issue, naturally cold room, good ventilation.
I intend to use the following, which I already own:
Canon 500D
Canon 35mm F1.4
Canon 50mm F1.8
Canon EX 430 II
Tripod (if needed, nothing fancy unfortunately)
I'm assuming I need the following (but not sure, hence asking here )
- Back light
- Softbox
- Reflector
- Flash tripod
- Cable/wireless transmitter for Flashgun
- Backdrop - was thinking white
What do you wonderful people reckon? Effectively I'm asking for a shopping list, in terms of budget I will spend what's required to provide adequate lighting, but ultimately, I don't want to spend more than I have to.
