My studio....

Hi guys !

My studio setup as requested.
The only place I had was a solarium.

You would think that a solarium would be a good place {read:light} but no, its not. There's too many relections and the glass is coated, hmm, funny..

{i will look into natural lighting at a later date though once I figure out studio lighting...}

So I had to cover up all the main windows and then finally the smaller ones also because morning sunlight would flow in.

Its only 11 feet wide and about 30 feet in length.
The solarium part goes up to 10 feet high but its limited.

If anyone has value added idea's to maximize what I have here
I would be grateful. {ie: how to maximize on the 10 foot ceiling
that's in a 11x8 foot area ?}

Here's the link:

and here's a sample image:

that shoot through umbrella looks like it's blasing right back into the lens, same with the big rim light and the reflector. With this lighting setup lots of flags will go a long way. I like bouncing out of black covered umbrellas for this reason.

James,

Yeah good point. This was really just a demo photo to show off the lights.

I must admit though that in real life I like the wrap-around effect of a shoot thru umbrella. You think that should flagged also .

Yes, if the reflection is going to hit your lens.

Good luck with the studio!
