Hi all!

I was wondering, is there anybody here experienced in studio lighting setups who would be willing to show some techniques to us?

I was thinking of showing an image/diagram of the light setup (how many, positioning, orentation, bounced / not bounced, illumination strength etc.) and then show the resultant photo's of the same setup (a model with some object around her - some highly specular, some not, some transparent, some translucent).

I can not find anything decent on the web around this. The knife blade sticky is a good reference though.

Thanx

Johan

See, I dot have any, and unfortunately I do not have cash ATM to buy a decent book, so I was hoping for somebody to give some basic pointers. This will help when you pay the studio by the hour if you know the basics of light setup.

Later

Here is a web site that has some great images with diagrams and explanations on many of them. Scott Smith's a master at lighting and setup.

A book would be a better bet. Perhaps also read the massive "show us your studio" thread on FM.
