- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I have been taking photos for quite sometime now and understand the importance of lighting. I have taken photos while the subject was standing in front of a backdrop being lit by umbrellas and softboxes. My friend has a clothing brand and we have taken photos with his product with what lighting and space we had.
So jump ahead 6 months later after different setups of lighting trying to achieve better results Im fed up with being ghetto haha. Im interested in purchasing lighting of 1-3 lamps. Not sure which type of lighting id like to use. I was hoping someone had a tip for lighting clothes to get proper detail and color.
I was thinking about using a collapsible 5x7 chroma key blue/green backdrop with 2-3 softboxes whether incandescent or fluorescent not sure which is better. I have worked with both. Enjoy the florescent bulbs because they dont get hot but the warmer tone of the incandescent is enjoyable as well.
How do you feel about
EDIT: BTW if you know a good retailer for lighting such as BH or someone who has a sale on a kit like these here.
