photoshoot help?!?!

[Poppy]

I've been asked by a friend to do a photoshoot for him, he wants a few taken of him and his girlfiend, they will be in fur suits though and they are both light in colour, so i'd have to use a black background

any advice guys?

I have no lighting or anything, the only things i have are some free-standing lights i could use

Could be difficult then - can you use daylight, or window light, with the help of a big reflector? It sounds like it might be a bit 'fashion-portrait' style in which case an outdoor location might work well.

Good luck,

Richard.

Without studio lighting I'd be tempted to go for an outdoor shoot. Have they specified one or the other? At least if they're wearing fur they'd be warm.

I'd have to agree with the above - outdoors it is.

Best bet would probably be find a location with a lot of tall evergreens - at this time of year using an evergreen hedge or trees as backdrop gives you nearly black anyway! (Apart from when it is frosty...) Many of the national parks have car parks/open spaces near the woodland areas which could work

If you have a 50mm use it and shoot open to get some good depth of field.
