Something with a wide aperture to isolate the subject from the background. I would also recommend a fill flash so use an SB-700/800/910 on a light stand with some kind of diffuser. So then you would need radio transmitter/receiver for remote flash release. See if your camera supports high speed synch for the flash for full light control over ambient. Light is usually placed at 45 deg angle to your side and faces the subjects face while the sunlight provides the rest. As for style, you have to do something against your nature, namely place the landscape in the background and let the model be framed by it, or be led to it by elements in the background or foreground, and make sure to light the clothing sufficiently so that it stands out, and the background has to drop off into this gentle blur. Shoot at wider apertures to achieve this. In order to get the flash light to overpower sunlight, you will need a graded ND filter so you can shoot at wider apertures while having latitude in terms of exposure time and ISO. For product work always shoot at the ISO setting on your camera that results in zero noise, usually 100 ISO. Shoot tight, in other words make the subject fill 1/3 to 1/2 the frame if possible. Make sure you know what is supposed to be shot full-length and half-length. Stay away from cheap zooms, as the point is to make the images clear and sharp. You can check my threads for various equipment/model shoot examples.</blockquote>
