: Subject shooting - what light?
: Olga B. February 21, 2008, 06:56:58 PM
I'm new to the subject shooting but would like to try. I got this equipment (2 flashes only + the rest on the picture). How do I set up a studio? Any advice is appreciated!

Here are a few 2 lights setups:

i had a link to a guy over at pbase, he had setups for each of his shoots, quite nice, can't find it :(
there are a couple of books that do the same

If you are asking what else do you need, i'd say a background and additional lights for the background, reflectors, possibly a flash/light meter

Are these the flashes from Walimex?

Thanks for the hints!

Yes, are they that bad?

Well, not sure, never tried them myself, but you get what you pay for

Where are you located?

Oh well, I'll try them then when I'm back from the vacation. I guess it's better than nothing. Maybe I should have asked what flashes to get before I ordered them.

Located? Paris, France.
