TPF Noob!
The company that I work for knows that I do photography as a hobby and I have done some product shots for them that they liked quite a bit. We sell tablet computers.
So they realized that they don't have any stock photos of people actually using this thing, so they want me to take some pictures of some lady outdoors with the tablet. They're thinking like in front of a home and at a coffee shop with a client, yada yada.
I need some pointers from people that have done something like this before. I use a Nikon D70 and I've done some amature portraits but nothing serious. I have the kit lens but I've been close to purchasing the 50mm 1.8D and this sounds like a good excuse to do it. I'm also thinking I might need to use a fill flash at some point so I might be getting something to solve that as well.
This is not a life or death assignment, we have the lady and the product they just want to try it to see if we can get anything useful without having to hire someone. Basically I want to blow them away so that I can do more of this kind of thing in the future. I know that you guys aren't going to make me into a professional overnight but I'm also sure that you can point me in the right direction. I don't think I'm actually going to be doing the shoot for an other week so I plan on looking for good locations and taking some notes on what the light looks like at certain times of the day.
There's also a possbility of doing indoor, office shots, what kind of gear am I looking at for that? on camera flash? Strobes? Hot lights? I donno, you tell me!
