The lighting, I'm told, will be bright. 1D classic | 50mm 1.8 | 28-105 3.5-4.5 | 270ex flash

Feb 15, 2012 13:28 | #6 Yeah I mean, I hate to be THAT guy, but it is a paid gig. Her nephew's my friend, and I suggested they go with a legit protographer when they asked me to do it (even referred them to a guy I met) but they can't afford it or dont want to bother. They never found anyone, so I was offered the gig again. 1D classic | 50mm 1.8 | 28-105 3.5-4.5 | 270ex flash

I'd use two off camera radio triggered flashes, bounced off the ceiling if possible otherwise direct, supplemented by on camera flash. With that use whatever lens that suits where you need to stand.
