Hello,
Sometime this week I'm going to be doing some shots of some lingerie, to be used as cut outs on a website, much like this:
http://www.lascivious.co.uk/collections/images/products/Josefine/large/josefine-bra-01.jpg
I'm wondering what the best way to light this will be, using the tools I have (which aren't great)...
My plan is to have the items on a mannequin (obviously), infront of a white sheet, a foot or so away from it.
I will light up the white sheet with my AF360FGZ (what's the best position for this? Pointing directly at the sheet, or place at the bottom point up?)
Here comes the "hacky" part. I have 2 330W builder lights, which I was going to use to cross light the mannequin from 45 degrees either side. I also have a gel on the strobe.
Should I be trying to soften these lights at all, or would it be better to have a hard/sharp light?
Any tips or advice would be great, and bear in mind my limitations in my lighting setup!
Thanks in advance.
