Bit of studio lighting advice

[ki_user]

Hi, I'm shooting in a space about 2m 70cm x 5m. I am using 2x 150w flash heads one with shoot through umbrella an one 60cm softbox. What would your choice of softbox etc. would be, or should I just stick with what I have?

the question is too loaded, there are too many variables to deal with.

It all depends on your subject, lone sitter, group, hard light, soft light, shadows, spill, just to name a few.

Trial and error will suit you best, try and sort it before you have customers.

I know there are lots of variables but I was just wondering what people would use the most of on a day to day basis.

To take pictures of.....?

Cars,
people,
apples,
clothes...?

Fair enough......People. Mind you if you could shoot a car in 2m 70cm x 5m I'd be impressed.

I thank you...!

Have a look at the umbrella boxes that Flash In The Pan sells on here, they work well and go up and down easy..!
