Hi!
I photograph bedding products, usually mattress, toppers, and pillows. The company I work for is building a small photo studio so we can take our images up a notch in terms of detail and quality.
Size of studio: Roughly 20x15 Ft with one large window in the corner (see attached drawing)
Usually the photographs are cropped very close to the mattress, and the detail of the fabric is pretty important. Sometimes we include the bed frame and a side table in the shot.
I don't know which lighting equipment to buy...People have recommended all different things. I have been considering powerful fluorescent daylight balanced lights with an additional powerful accent light. Links below:
Impact Octacool-9 Fluorescent 2 Light Kit with Octabox IMOC9SB2J
Impact VA902 Fluorescent Cool Light One Fixture Kit VA902-KI B&H
However I am not sure that these lights are going to be powerful enough...I could buy hot lights but since the studio is in a factory it could be a safety hazard.
I'm wondering if you could provide me with a solid recommendation. I also have the option of building in some lights from the ceiling also...
Thank you so much for your help!
