A friend is setting up an Internet Business selling childrens party bags, and has asked me to take photographs of the bags and the varying items such as small toys etc that will go in them, to go on the web site. I would very much like some advice on how to light these products, I have a 580 speed light and an old bo-lite flash unit and a few lastolite reflectors.

Check this product/table top studio set-up. https://photography-on-the.net …hread.php?t=135​134&page=2

I tried it last weekend and worked great. The whole set up costs less than $20US.
