Hello all.
A friend at work is doing some freelance work for a magician he knows and will be developing his new website for him. He has asked me to go round his house on Wednesday to take some photos of the guy against a white background (so he can easily cut him out if need be) and I am a little nervous about it.
I have a Canon 400D and will likely use the Canon 50mm F1.8 purely for its sharpness. I also have a 430EX II, Wireless triggers, Manfrotto light stand, 40 inch (i think) shoot through umbrella and a large reflector (which can be made white, silver or gold).
So, with this setup I want to try a few different things and I would imagine that the best thing for me to do is just keep moving the umbrella around and trying different things. But can anyone point me to some setup diagrams with examples for some alternative lighting methods?
Perhaps so which won't use the umbrella etc?
Any help will be appreciated
