Karin, Hi. I have my lighting set up all ready to use, based on your above advice. My questions are: What are the surroundings when you take your photos with the lighting setup?

Is the room filled with indirect light from the outdoors? Do you use blackout shades to make the room as dark as possible? Or do any additional light sources get cancelled out as soon as the photolamp goes on?

Are you using a strobe or a regular photobulb? 250 watts? 150?

Do you go to the clients home sometimes to shoot the photos?

Thanks,
Renee
