Ive been asked to shoot my mates daughters PRE-prom next week. Its only in his home before they all go off to the prom.
I know its never gonna produce amazing photos in someones living room etc but what can I do to make the best of this situation? Is not a serious request but he asked if I could do something. I would like the practice and experience also. I'll be taking candid shots and some portraits and group photos.
Gear I have is;
Nikon D7200
NIKON 35mm F1.8 prime
Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4
TOKINA 11-16mm F2.8
NIKON 80-200MM F2.8 (manual only)
YONGOU 560 FLASH
Tripod light/softbox/umbrella x1 plug in.
I've never used the tripod light rig so is it best to use the flash on trigger, lightbulb, softbox or umbrella??
Use the flash mounted on camera, pointing upwards with deflector(?)
What's the best background? White wall, patterned paper wall???
Use the light coming in from windows?
Use the domestic lights in the house?
Thanks for any advice.
