My sons fiance designs and produces clothing for teenagers, its a second income. As they are finding the budget tight at the moment she asked me if I would mind shooting a few pics for the website. They have had an experianced tog come down in the past. I will have access to a garage aprox 15ft by 10ft.
My only kit consists of a 400D, 50mm 1.8, 28-80mm 3.5 (old but still produces a good image) a 580ex flash + softbox, tripod and remote. My first thought would be to get an off camera cord, her brother whilst being helpfull and helping her out has bought a lighting set for her plus extra backdrops. http://www.backdropsource.co.uk/Productinfo.asp?id=1076&pname=heavy-weave-white-muslin-backdrop-with-continuous-lights
Now I know you might suggest that kit is no good, but what I am after is making the most of whats on offer. I was wondering should I be taking outdoor shots as well maybe? I also understand the world of lighting is a complex and technical subject, so a few pointers would be great what would be a good start to position lights, do I use lights and flash? I have just over a month to practise this stuff, and will post up my efforts for C&C.Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
