okay, so I have a couple places that I go to shoot that don't have nice low lying ceilings that are white. They either have black ceilings or the ceiling is 20-30 feet up in the air.
Also in a couple of the places the subjects are sweating a little (dancing) and it makes it difficult to get good shots without a lot of glares on them from the perspiration.
I've been working with mostly foamies (craft foam sheets that I cut and mess with to get a bounce on the subject to soften the light a little. This has been working alright but the results tend to be inconsistent and the foam sheet material looks a bit unprofessional. So I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should be using instead.
So I've been looking at the following:
Pro Max 80-20 System
The other alternative is:
Lumiquest LQ-125 ProMAx Pocket Bouncer Silver Gold Kit
My questions are would the diffusion panel make that much of an improvement in softening the light or would it just not really matter? Also if I were to use the silver insert would I be looking at any negatives from just that?
I've also been thinking of a gary fong lightsphere and just placing some foil inside it on the back side to direct the light forward so that I could get more light forward and have less light lost.
let me know what you guys think a good solution would be to get good light and still look professional at the same time without having to carry around a small softbox or something, lol.
