First of I will be using a Nikon D7200

1 x 80cm Octagon Umbrella Softbox with YN568 linked from camera menu (side lighting?)

Use pop flash for front fill on low power that triggers both slave flash's ????

I have a sigma 610 DG ST going spare, can I get a yn603 RF or a model that will give the 610 TTL function
And fire from D7200 menu

This is all new to me :eek: Be kind
 
First the gear question. Your Sigma doesn't have the slave function for use with the Nikon CLS. So to allow remote control with TTL you'll need to buy a TTL trigger set. This works instead of the pop up as controller, is more effective but more expensive than buying just a dumb trigger like the 603.

If this is for a static setup, TTL isn't a great idea anyway. You can buy some dumb triggers (like the 603's) for a lot less than TTL triggers.

Why?

We add light to solve problems, you're wanting to add a light 'because it's there'. The Octo and a reflector is capable of excellent results and hundreds of different looks.
 
Hi Phil knew you would be along :)

I want to be able to to take some portraits of the kids well one kid & a 21 year old ( I feel old now)

I was thinking the octagon front left at 45deg using sigma fired from the CSL with a model whatever no ### (please insert ) , may use the pop up as a little front fill ( unless I'm talking out my %#^€ ) and, Utilise the YN568 from back right on low power to light the hair via CSL?? Or should I use a reflector

If you want a hairlight, a reflector won't do. you'll need triggers for each flashgun. The Sigma can't be fired by CLS, but as it's all static, just buy dumb triggers.
