Hello, I am not a photographer by any means, but an illustrator. I am in need of advice from experienced photographers that can help me out. I want to take some photos of my wife as my model for reference for my artwork which is fantasy based. Somewhat in a comicbook style but with a touch of realism. I want to take pictures of my model in black & white with various props. I need somewhat dramatic lighting so I can see a full range of tonal values. I will be taking pictures inside a small 10x11 room with lighting from a window coming from the right hand side. The walls are a light gray. I have a simple Kodak EasyShare C763 camera with no attachments. What setting do I use on my camera to get decent shots that will suit my needs? Should I use some focuse lighting and cover the window with fabric? Please help. All advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Brad
