Given that my studio is focused mainly on weddings, kids, family portraits that type of thing, that is what I feel most comfortable shooting.
However, I do a little corporate work as well. A big challenge for this type of work is lighting it. The shots below presented me with a huge challenge in as much as they were taken in tiny rooms (except for 1) & that there were computer monitors, glass wall division, etc.
How to light..... I used one studio strobe with an umbrella. I turned the light around so that the umbrella faced the ground & bounced the reflected light off the ceiling in an effort to avoid reflections.
For some, I also had the 580 EX mounted on the hotshoe & bounced off a wall.
Shot at 1600 iso on the MK3 & with NO pp.
