I am doing boudoir shoots tomorrow and will be testing my softbox in addition to the ambient light photos. I really want to add some "oomph" and I know flash is the way to go.
My plan is to use the black (though not black out) curtains in the clients home as the BG/floor. Then use my (strip) softbox to light her from the side for a fine art/bodyscape kinda deal.
I'm worried about setting the flash exposure and all that properly. I know to use manual, and given that it's a small room, I suppose start at the lowest "power" and see what happens? Then adjust power, aperture, exposure comp accordingly?
I'm probably way over thinking this as I tend to do that with everything.
here's a photo of her living room and bedroom. I'm thinking the living room will work better.
