I enlisted the help of a good friend to help me test my speedlite studio setup and give me some starting tips on how to set it up.
The attached images were taken using 2x 600ex-rt speedlites triggered via an ST-E3-RT on my camera.
Light was diffused/controlled via a Lastolite 76x76 Ezybox Hotshoe Softbox and a Lastolite All-in-One umbrella.
I did try some with a 3rd speedlite lighting the background or as a hair light, but these did not work out so well, and did not really suit either my friend or me!
I tried various setups.
Started with just the soft box, then added the umbrella and finished with just the soft box again but from the side for a harsher more dramatic loo.
I did try other setups such as just umbrella, backlight and using the reflector but have left those off for now.
One mistake I did make was having my depth of field too shallow, but as the main aim was to try and learn a bit about lighting I've shared these anyway.
Anyway, as always comments are welcomed.
