Today I am taking my teenage daughter to an old ruined castle to get some portrait and modelling shots. Its just a mess about but id like to do a good job. At my disposal i have my Nikon D7200, A 35mm F1.8 prime, a 50mm F1.8 prime (old manual version) and a Sigma 50-150 F2.8.
I have an on camera flash only, but do have a workmans light that will fill the space with directional light. I can tame this with a piece of white paper over the light if needed. It has 3 brightness settings anyway.
I also have a large car windscreen silver reflector that could maybe used to bounce light. Im probably over complicating things and really just want to keep it simple.
I would like a good depth of field, some bokeh (im taking battery fairy lights also) .
Shots will either be against the castle wall or free standing in space.
About late afternoon on a dull day so reduced lighting.
Can anyone advise which lens would give the best results and roughly where i should be putting the off camera light to give the most pleasing shot.
The castle is a simple rectangular open space with no roof and a couple of open doorways and open windows.
Thanks all.
