Lighting Softbox Photo
January 12th, 2008
Lighting techniques using the following equipment?
OK I’m doing a portrait/fashion photo shoot with one model in a low- lit cocktail bar and am wondering if anyone has any good or interesting techniques I could use.
The equipment:
Canon 400d
50mm f1.8 lense
A silver/gold reflector
A 600w flash head with softbox diffusor.
Thanks 
Depands on what you want the images to look like…
What popped into my mind was a tripod, long exposures so the light of the bar show up, the soft box close so limited in where the light falls..
the reflector set to back light the figure.
