[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 590187, member: 13090"] It looks as though you have a clean white background and the natural light should be helpful as long as it doesn't cause undesirable shadows on the face. Bouncing your SB-400 might be enough to eliminate them, it might not. If there's a blind on that window you might be able to open/close it in such a way as to soften the ambient light and make it work for you. If at all possible I'd want to do some test shots at the same time of day ahead of the actual shoot to see what the light will be like. "Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted." As for reflectors, the standard-issue is a 5-in-1 like [url=https://www.amazon.com/Fomito-Collapsible-Translucent-Multi-Disc-Photography/dp/B01FU4J1WS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478875335&sr=8-3]this one for $22[/url]. You might be able to use something smaller, like a 32" instead. Bear in mind you'll need an assistant, or some kind of stand, to hold this for you so you can shoot. [/QUOTE]
