The photos in this article were shot with a fairly simple lighting setup in my dining room area. The main light to my left (model\u2019s right) is the Westcott Bruce Dorn Strip Bank (18″x42″)<\/strong><\/a> (B&H). The flashgun was a Quantum T2, but a speedlight would’ve worked just as well. In this small a space, you don\u2019t need huge amounts of light.<\/p>\n I used another Quantum T2 to light up the grey seamless background. I had the Quantum 12\u00d712 softbox on this one, and feathered it to give me uneven light on the backdrop. I also had a snooted Nikon SB-800 as a hair light in most shots.<\/p>\n For some images, shot at f\/1.4 the power was turned away down on the Q-flash – all the way down to 1\/32 and 1\/64 just to ensure that kiss of light.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a pull-back shot to show you just how unglamorous and cramped it looked. Yet the portraits looked great.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I used a variety of lenses for these portraits:<\/p>\n Nikon D700; \u00a0Nikon 85mm f1.4 \u00a0shot @ f1.4<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Canon 1D mk3; \u00a0Canon 85mm f1.2 II \u00a0 shot at @ f1.4<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Canon 1D mk3; \u00a0Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nikon D700; \u00a0Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR macro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" home studio portrait lighting setup in limited space The photos in this article were shot with a fairly simple lighting setup in my dining room area.
