Hi,
I'd like to shoot clothing product photos with a model on a white background on a regular basis. I'm on a low budget and have a small 10' x 14' usable space to use as a "studio". The model and I will be standing stationary, about 12' apart.
The equipment I've got so far is:
- Nikon D5000 DSLR, on a tripod
- 2 Profoto Compact 600r lights, on stands & with umbrella reflectors
- 9'x15' white muslin background attached to 8'x4' white board on the floor
I've been told I need PocketWizard MiniTT1 & FlexTT5 to trigger the lights when I shoot. Since I'll be stationary, could I just use a cable? Is there anything else I absolutely should have? Every time I walk into the photo store I can't tell if their upselling me or if this really is the bare minimum I should buy. I'm already late and way over budget. I need to get this thing crack-a-lackin'!!
Any tips you could give me would be much appreciated!! Thank you!
