studio lighting

[troytime]

I just put together two monolight strobes with softboxes, I don't have a clue on how to really use them - (but even the few test shots I took last night came out incredible)

Any advice, blog, or book recommendations for someone new to studio AND flash photography?

I'll be building, or buying a backdrop system very soon too.

My friend from another forum has an excellent guide to understanding how flash works. A good starting point.

45 degree Portrait Lighting Setup

And another member (Desmond) who runs a blog has 40 rules of portraiture to help get started on posing.

Hope others have some suggestions.

great links so far!

the neighbor girl is preggers, so my wife and I are going to do a photoshoot in a week or so for her.

I'm excited!
