Advice on a couple of headshot photos

[jimmy83]

Hey all, I'm getting a couple of photos for a friend to use on a companies website which will be off call-center staff at desks with a headset on. Can anyone advise on how I can best setup the lightening? I will be using a 7d and Sigma 35mm f1.4 flashguns and a brolly. I don't know what the boardroom looks like currently(trying to find out)There will probably be 2/3 people in a line at a desk. Would you guys say a brolly with wireless flash will be ok?Thanks everyoneI'm sure you know the kind of photos I mean, but here is an example anyway http://piciandpici.com/top-10-behaviors-for-revolutionizing-call-center-effectiveness/

That looks like windowlight.

One Umbrella isn't going to give you that light; You'd need a (very) large softbox to get even illumination over that sort of width, or just use the windowlight, if it's a modern call centre type building you'll have problems avoiding windowlight, you might as well take advantage.
