I'm soon going to dabble in the field of studio light, but I'm also thinking what I
can do with my current equipment before spending the bucks for true studio
lighting...
I use a D60, 28-135, 100 f/2, & 50 f/1.8, plus a 420ex speedlite. To enter the
realm of portrait photography WITHOUT the on-camera flash look (bounced or
not), I'm wondering how the INEXPENSIVE setup of the 420ex swiveled 90+
degrees, angeled up, and bounced off a reflector would work for a more
dramatic look.
what are your opinions? I don't own a reflector; I'm just hypothesizing here. of
course in an ideal world I'd invest in monolights, etc... BUT I don't want to
spend that much... yet. I need to see how serious I'll get into portrait work first,
b/c studio gear can get pricey fast.
I'd likely do work in the range of 1/2-body shots to headshots...
thanks!
