[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 199445, member: 9240"] I am not ashamed to admit it - I'm an absolute flash photography dunce. I know nothing because I've really not studied it in any way shape or form. If you see a photo of mine taken with flash it was all a matter of pop it up or put it on, cross your fingers, start to pray and try something else until it comes out right. That's all about to change. I've been wanting to learn how to do this correctly and I'm being presented with an opportunity to learn. A good friend has a graphic arts company and is looking to update his website with product shots of some of the things he's produced for various conferences over the last couple years. He called a guy he uses for portrait work to see if he could do it and the guy said, "Sure, if you can wait until January - I'm absolutely booked through Christmas." He's always liked my photography, so he asked if I'd be able to do something for him. "I'm not looking for a favor - I'll definitely pay you for your work." I explained to him my utter lack of experience doing this, but told him that it was something I wanted to be able to do, so if he could have a little patience and allow me to use it as a learning experience I would be willing to do it, with his payment used to offset the cost of the required equipment should he be happy with the shots. He's cool with that arrangement, so I'm now on a mission. I'm headed to his place today to get a look at what it is he want shots of so I know what it is I'll need to get. What I'm looking for are any recommendations for good, straight forward small studio lighting tutorials. I don't know yet whether the stuff is small enough for a white box or if I'm going to need something bigger, but regardless I'm going to need to know how to light it. So start pointing!! :) [/QUOTE]
