Models Three Mounted
Experienced photographers only please....advice?
In two weeks I will be shooting my first fashion model. The set is indoors and is of a night scene with the model on a rooftop (props). I would assume the set will be dark. My question is what else should I bring with me besides my D300, my two SB-800's and my three lenses? I cannot afford studio strobes and would prefer a portable light source like my sb 800's. I thought about getting the following:
light stands (2)
softboxes to mount on sb 800's (2) what size I'm not sure yet. either softboxes or umbrellas?
and thats all I can up with.
also thought about a wireless setup for my flashes versus the way I shoot now with the pop-up flash up to trigger the sb800s.
if you can give me any advice as to what to use that would make the best of what I have now, I would greatly appreciate it. ten points also
If you can afford only one light diffuse, you'll find a softbox much more useful than an umbrella, as it keeps the the light in a 180-degree arc, and can be baffled or scrimmed to control it even more. For the SB800's, try the Chimera Mini. I've had mine for years and carry it everywhere. With the required speed ring (includes attached hot shoe adapter) it's a bit over $100. Well worth it.

Light stands are a must, of course, unless you have some other way to elevate and hold the strobes. They're relatively inexpensive.
As for wireless control, the Nikon SU-800 commander works very well, as long as all the strobes are in front of you.

As for lighting, you can definitely make this work with two lights, but you're going to be limited. That means you need to make two lights act as though they are four or five by using light modifiers. A good way to do this is by using reflective materials to reflect the light, mimicking another flash. You can use all of the following on a single setup. Each has a different look:
1. An inexpensive and not-too-large wall mirror. When reflecting a strobe, it will look almost identical giving you a virtual second strobe. Great for reflecting the main light into the model for use as a rim or back light. Use more than one to turn a single light into three or four, or more, light sources.
2. Foam core covered in aluminum foil. More diffuse than a mirror. Not as reflective (or fragile). Can be colored with markers to add a warm or cool fill.
3. Plain white foam core. Very diffuse reflector and can be taped together to make a very large reflector.
Those three light modifiers are time-honored tools to make the most out of a limited lighting setup. Each has multiple uses. For instance, you can use the foam core to reflect fill light, or as a makeshift and very inexpensive umbrella on which to bounce one of the strobes for softer light.
Sure, it's nice to have a full studio setup. But sometimes we have to make do with what we have at the time, or what we can afford. Besides, nothing will prepare a young photographer better than having a less than optimal setup.
Might be good to know: Joe McNally lights everything this way, and he's one of the top journalistic/portrait photogs in the country.

My portable setup (separate from my studio setup) includes four SB-800's, commander module, three compact light stands, Chimera Mini softbox, assorted color filters, and a roll of Cinefoil (matte black heavyweight foil used for scrims (blocking light).

And for additional tips and tricks, THE STROBIST is an incredibly popular and useful blog dedicated to pro lighting with only portable strobes.

| | Toys and Models ERJ145 American Eagle $246.94 The ERJ145 is a regional jet manufactured by Embraer a Brazilian aerospace company. Family members of the Embraer include the ERJ 135 ERJ 140 and ERJ 145 as well as the Legacy business jet and the R99 family of military aircraft. The ERJ 145 is the largest of the group. Each jet in the series is powered by two turbofan engines. The family s primary competition comes from the Canadair Regional Jets. The ERJ145 could accommodate 50 passengers in a three abreast seating configuration and it has a range of about 2500 km. In late 1991 the Embraer ERJ 145 design was frozen now with rear mounted engines. It did keep some features from the Brasilia such as the three abreast seating (2+1). The first flight was on August 11 1995 with the first delivery in December 1996 to Expressjet then the regional division of Continental Airlines (and spun off in 2002 as a separate company ExpressJet Airlines NYSE: XJT). Expressjet doing business as Continental Express is by far the largest operator with 255 of the nearly 1000 ERJ 145 in service. The second largest operator is American Eagle with 107 ERJ 145 aircraft. The Brazilian military operates the (Embraer) EMB145 under the designation C99A. It also operates the R99 models A and B which are both derived from the EMB145. Embraer retains the EMB prefix when referring to its military models. Since mid 2004 the ERJ145 is also assembled in China by Harbin Embraer. |
