Not real studio lights. that was a lose term used on my part.
Because as soon as the layman sees multiple sources of light he
assumes it is a studio shoot.
Actually, I used 2 cheap flashguns ($60 and $90), with a i-TTL
SB400 set to manual mode thats all. No diffusers, nothing. One
flash bounced off ceiling, one bounced of door behind shoes, the
last one is direct.
Full manual settings-Took me 2min to set up all the flashguns. I
call it agaration (agar-ration). Experience with different sorts of
lighting makes it a breeze (okay, that was a joke
:mrgreen
If I were to use studio lights, I don't think the "shine" from the
boots would have been as pronounced. Furthermore, I wanted
directional lighting to show some depth.
