I work for a fashion company. We're going to be selling stuff on the web and they want to set up a studio in-house so that we can take pics of our products (mostly tee shirts). They also might want to do some outdoor shoots with models.
Everybody here knows i'm the resident photo nerd, but i'm not that experienced in studio lighting and such, more of a natural light guy... plus i'm a Nikon guy and they're going with Canon. Any help here would be great as far as how this stuff would stack up or if there's any other 'must-haves'.
So here's what they want to get so far:
-Canon 40d package w/28-135 IS USM, 4gb card, spare battery, remote release
-one more battery
-Canon Speedlite 580EX II
-Omni Bounce diffuser for speedlite
-bogen manfrotto 190xprob tripod
-Smith Victor K75 studio lighting package (adorama link)
-background paper and stands
I suggested a wider angle lens as well (or instead of the zoom), but i'm not familiar with canon lenses so i'm not sure what would be best.
I think that's about it from their list.. anything else we should get?
