Hi all, I'm a beginner trying to do some clothing photos for an online catalog.
I use a SONY MVC FD-87 digital camera, and one single floodlight (fitted with four 23W daylight balanced 5500K bulbs) as my only light source. Here's the my setup(I added a rain umbrella and liked how it soften the light a bit)
Here's my first shot. (EV at 1.0, White Balance=auto, I basically just point and shoot this photo)
Here's a photo (from a famed website) with the feel and color I'm aiming for.
I'd appreciate some expert advice on how I can make my photos more professional and more presentable. I'm not necessarily going for the floating look (transparent background), I am only trying to make it better in terms of color and lighting.
I'm not sure how to go about this as the above tools are all I have. Please give me your suggestions - whether or not more light is needed, lighting technique tips, camera use, etc. Thanks in advance for any help!
