Looking for suggestions from anyone out there before I go for this shoot. I already have a fair idea of what I'm going to do, and I have some white and some black to work with for sides, light control and backgrounds. I have 4 hot shoe flashes and one alienbees b1600 (don't know if that will get used). I have done product photography before, and I am a fan of both backlighting and standard frontal with fill.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for lighting, backgrounds, framing/angle and how I might set up the shirts before my shoot tonight? I have roughly 1 hour before I have to go.

Thank You,
Joey

All photos taken with 40D and Tamron 28-75 with 3 sunpak 383s providing flat lighting. There was no model available to wear the clothes, otherwise I would've much preferred to shoot them that way.

I like how the shirts were lighted. Very even on the shirt. I agree a model might of been better but I like what you did.

Thank you. Flat lighting, very limited detail: The emphasis was on the silk screening.

The person who hired me was actually a very petite and attractive lady who could easily have modeled them, but for some reason she refused.

Too bad. I was only half joking about the hot model. If you look at any advertising/commerical​s you do not see just a product. There is someone wearing the product. Look at Victoria Secrets? There are not just showing product. Even if the product goes on ebay, I would still have someone modeling the attire.
Sounds like this was not your decision anyway.
