Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice on how to produce an image something similar to the one that I have hopefully posted.
My wife and I are lucky enough to be expecting our first child in about 7 weeks and would really like to be able to take some images of this sort. A sort of before and after series....
Now obviously she is being rather brave letting me do this and I really really really do not want to mess the whole thing up. So I thought I would ask for some advice.
I have a set of 2 Elinchrom D-lite 4's and soft boxes, a 5 in one reflector, a white and a black background cloth and a room with about 14 ft of space in it.
Do I have a hope in hell?
I'm assuming that I will need one light aimed at the background but dont know whether or not I should use a soft box and then maybe one light directly in front of my model and maybe high up with a reflector to one side and low...
But the truth is I have no idea. I have no idea about distances or stop values or anything. I will have to stuff a dressing gown with pillows and have a play or something. But if anybody has any advice that they would be willing to share it would be MASSIVELY welcome.
Cheers,
PN
