Strobist Techniques:  Part 1 , [ Click here to read Part 2 ]

The light is the key element in the photography, you may use the day-light, or the camera built-in flash but to play with lights and shadows you will need one or more external lights with remote fire capability. (I have the Nikon SB-900)
In this article i will loade some photos and the studio set-up for each to see the lights position and how this will effect the final result.
 
 Equipments
  • The Studio is my Kitchen.
  • Home Made LightBox.
  • Stand for the camera.
  • SB-900 SpeedLigth.
  • I will use the normal room light -ceiling light-.

 

   This is the Studio
