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.

Lighting Setup in a Cafe? (alien.top)

I'm doing a sort of fashion/lifestyle shoot in a cafe soon, and I was originally hoping to use some nice big 5 bulb lamps I picked up, but I'm thinking about the size and proportion of the space. I got a hold of 2 Wescott spiderlite td5 with stand and directional shades that I've just been dying to use. Without those, I'd just use available light and my nikon sb-600 flash with a diffuser, which I've used with pretty great success.

What would pull you to shoot with more or less lighting one way or another?

Remember that you can sometimes give the illusion of lightning an entire room by lighting your subjects and then lighting the back wall of the space.
