Hello everyone, I want to thank you in advance for whatever feedback you give me.
I work for an antique restoration business and we want to set up a studio in our warehouse for pictures and video.
We have tons of space but we just have to make room for it first.
What We Are Shooting:
Full dining room sets (Table with 2 leaves, 8-10 chairs, china cabinet and buffet) and on a smaller scale commodes, individual chairs, end tables, benches etc.
What We Need Help Deciding:
-An idea on how much space we need (Length x Width x Height)
-An idea on how many lights we need and how big and what bulbs?
-What type of backgrounds? White? Grey? Fabric? Paper? Shiny?
-Paint the floor?
What We Want To Achieve:
-A consistent stream of pictures and videos for our products to market them online
-Professional studio quality with ACCURATE colour of the furniture
Our Current Equipment:
-Canon 60D with 50mm f/1.8
-Tripod
-2x 16" circular soft boxes with 3x 28watt 5200k bulbs in each
Notes:
-What we really want is to avoid hot spots and reflections on the furniture
(I understand that pieces that are rounded will of course reflect light)
-We REALLY need to showcase the colour of the wood and grain
Thank you again for taking the time to read this post, any advice is welcomed.

Ps. I understand this is my 1st post and please don't judge me for that. I've been lurking this forum for a while now and have gained lots of knowledge already. I'm a member of many online forums and I know how people get judged on their post count
