Wait what? Im not sure what you are trying to imply but on my original post I gave example and positions for better images. What else you want me to do?I get what you are trying to do. And we all appreciate the help. But your examples are like a cooking show who burns or undercooks the food. Not showing the correct method/setup and final product is actually useless. You are teaching kid to shoot jumpers and you are missing all of them. And every time you brick your response is "I wasn't trying to be perfect".
he's talking about meWait what? Im not sure what you are trying to imply but on my original post I gave example and positions for better images. What else you want me to do?
Oh ... He quoted me though ... LoLhe's talking about me
LoL but I wasn't trying to help you since you made it clear that you was just trying to help someone else ... LoLthanks, contrary to my apparently terrible examples I've studied light setups and have been setting up studio lighting equipment since I was 12 but I too only have an external light which is why i do a lot of work outside and why I know how to get a somewhat decent setup.
I do have a studio that I can rent whenever but just never got around to taking time to play around in it

thanks for the tips on my last post. watched a couple of youtube videos but still have no idea what im doing lol.
have to say its pretty fun getting on your bike with a couple friends, beers and finding spots to chill and shoot.
can i get a decent tripod for bout 50-100?
tokes99 think that first one was shot at a 13 second exposure at ISO 50?
Great tips!So my colleague from the Hundreds did a whole post on concert photography. He totally went OD on it where I literally didn't have to post a thing. Check it out....

you got this, i wouldn't worry about the wall, you can easily blow it out to white in post anyways...i guess having all the photographic accouterment would make things a whole lot easier but i would ask does it HAVE to be taken in that room (could you take these in front of the business or do full body shots where they are doing there jobs?), can you think of something/somewhere creative to have them do/pose? you're the guy with the camera so its up to you fam...
a few from last night:
You can do it with no flash as well. This is all natural light inside my garage with the garage door open and seamless white savage paper as a background. If you have to shoot in a confined space like the office shown, I would use at least one speedlight with a modifier (softbox) and make sure to light all the subjects the same way to show consistency.
I suppose ... Is it going to be the same ... No ...it is not ... Period.Simplify your life bro, no need for softboxes and crap, space is limited as is...just aim your flash back and up at angle, bounce it of the ceiling and you'll get a nice even flush light.
Today I had this little man in the studio

There are plenty of portable studio flashes IE AlienBees and portable softboxes or beuty dishes. Quick simple and will render good results ... That flat lighting is flat ... But then again I do a lot of beauty and fashion and that bouncing joint ain't cutting it.
Naw man ... I'm good ... I don't know what I'm doing ... The only bounce I use on any beauty shoot is from main light hitting the v flats as fill ... But I guess this aint beauty what we are talking about but rather work portrait ...What flat light you speak of bro? Bouncing a flash renders a nice soft light on the subjects....
Of course an AB with a diffuser will do a better job, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT, otherwise you'll be just complicating your life and spending unessesary money.

There's nothing complicated about setting a beauty dish with a disfuser and using a light meter ... Get perfect even lighting across the face instead of complicating your life with bouncing light, ceiling heights, color temp. Un even lighting, etc.
But hey .. It's cool ... You have your view on things and I have other views ... Just saying that I have never ever seen a fashion/beauty photographer bounce their flash of a wall .. Maybe use and umbrella and bounce it back but from walls? That's that club, event, wedding technique
My ego? How you figure you hurting it? I gave my opinion and you gave yours. I'm looking at it in a beauty pro shooter way and you are looking at it in a event "easy" way. But never that ... Suggesting a flash and bounce the light of the wall or the ceiling is equally as ridiculous. The same scenario about equally distributing light would apply to one strobe and I don't know about you but flashes like I use 580 cost more than an AB ... In addition everything that he will need to know about the strobe he will need to know about the flash.Of course a beauty/fashion photographer needs to know his ins and outs with lighting, strobes, reflectors, diffuser...but take a second to understand who you are advising here, you are legit telling this man to go buy an AB (400$) a softbox (150$+) btw gotta be a huge one to evenly light a group which I think he mentioned he planned on shooting, and that's just 1 strobe....maybe he can cut corners and buy a really large reflector to fill in whatever shadows he might have...let's not forget triggers, now look at the space he plans on shooting in AND he has to teach himself how to properly set up and operate these things, to you it may be simple because well you've been doing so a while, but I'm sure you didn't learn how to manage strobe lighting over night...I get it man, ideally what you suggested would render nice results, but don't rush dude into going out and buying things he won't have time to learn how to use, end up frustrating himself and ruining his gig.
And don't get defensive man, wth is it about photographers who feel their ego is being attacked each time someone else shows up with an opposite opinion?...geez man..
If u understand lighting u can get good results with just about any type of lighting ....I've been working with an Einstein for sometime and decided to go back to natural window light for today's shoot, legit got the same results with less clutter
