bitchslap – a portraits not a portrait to me if the eyes don’t pop.
seth–ten grand ? Get a couple of light stands, 1 or two flashes with a some radio triggers, set to manual run in half to quarter power, figure out exposure, get a large umbrella and a reflector+holder. Voila, portable portrait studio. Get a large oval reflector with white/silver; background stand kit with some seamless..
you’d be amazed how many different looks you can obtain.
Nice thing about manual mode is, you don’t have to buy high end flashes.. Just something to trigger them remotely; in which case, most have sync ports and you can buy a flash and a sync cord. I personally would avoid this because being tethered sucks. But, for 300-500 bucks you can have a pretty nice kit for strobist work
