A friend of mine is having me do a photo-shoot for her online clothing company. She's planning on using several interesting locations within the building she works at and would like to use lighting for this shoot.
I would like to use hot lights as I am much more confident in their use. I have worked on several film sets using them and have a decent amount of experience setting them up and whatnot. However, I've never had to actually pick out which lights to use so I am curious as to what you think of my selection so far...
Key light would be a 650-1k Tungsten with a Chimera Medium Stripbank White. Fill would be 300W Tungsten (possibly with a smaller Chimera) and I'd use a 150W hair light.
She would like to keep the rental costs relatively low.. say around $150 for the day so with those lights plus a few accessories it would be well within the budget. I may consider using strobes; however, the thought of basically practicing using lighting equipment with models rather terrifies me.
What are your thoughts on this so far?
