Advise need for photoshoot!

[Nubbs]

I have been commissioned to photograph a few executives for a company. They will be taking my pictures and turning them into stand up cut outs.

Here is what I have.

2 speedlights
cybercyncs
1 softbox
1 umbrella set up
2 reflectors
Tripod

Canon 7d
10-22
24-105
50 1.8
100 2.8

My plan to this point:

Buy some white seamless. Tape seamless to a wall and put the subject about 8 feet from the wall. Use one speedlight set on the floor with a light sphere behind the subject to light the back ground. Put the other speedlight in the softbox(actually the umbrella might provide more spill that will hit a reflector) kinda high aimed down and put a silver reflector on the ground aimed back up at the subject.

I am trying to do this without buying another speedlight.

Am I on the right track? Or am I grasping at straws?


Thank you

Dood, you'll be fine. Sounds like you know whats up and you have the equipment to match. If your worried look up some posing strategy stuff and lighting tips but whatev. Post when you're done though I really want to see!

If they're going to be cutting them out you should have them stand on the white so the entire background is white except the subject. You don't want carpet & then a white background. It sounds like you know what your going for though so you probably know this. The lighting setup sounds fine.

I have a roll of seamless on its way that is 40 feet long. The plan is to roll it out so that it is just them on white.

Thanx for the advise guys!

a 9ft X 36 ft long seemless paper is good for 2-3 cut.

once its screwed up bad, cut off 8-10 feet and you got yourself a new paper.
