A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Oh ok, that'll make it a lot easier! Depending on the time of day, you could try all natural light if you're comfortable with that but I would suggest at least one lighting setup, maybe like a Speedlite and one modifier. (Doesn't mean you'll use it, but it's good to have.) Also depends how deep into the woods you're going. Hiking more than a few feet with a bunch of gear is not fun. If you have a cart, those are really helpful for carrying everything. Check the weather and see if it'll be windy and if you'll need sandbags for any stands. Take water! Maybe some snacks if you'll be walking a bit. And sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Use heavier duty shoes, like hiking ones in case there are any muddy areas. I would recommend that to the musician as well. They can change into nicer shoes when you get there. And lastly, use the woods to your advantage. There'll be a lot of things to grab on to and hold and pose with. Get creative!
