"I've taken plenty of photos of my models, mostly in-process on the work bench. Sometimes I'll make an effort to take some beauty shots, always with so-so results. But my brother, who is a pro photographer, showed me some tricks using my PILAR model. Am I likely to pick up the same tools he has? Not too likely, but a lot of it actually isn't too much of an add, assuming you already have a decent camera.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tMy impromptu lesson took place in my garage, with a big piece of black fabric for a back drop, and a coffee table to hold up the model. \n \n\n\n\tThe main \"tool\" was a soft box-  a big umbrella like thing with diffusers and a strobe inside. This was arranged over the model to rain soft parallel light down from above. We played with a reflector panel to get some bounce-fill, and even resorted to an old photo flood to fill in a dark spot. The process had a lot of trial and error: take a shot, examine it, adjust the lighting, it was all magic to me.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tIt was hardly a complete studio, but we made do with it to get some decent shots. See more in the scratch build gallery under PILAR. \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tMy brother Wil doing his thing in the garage:\n \n\n\n\t\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tBetter view of the soft box and reflector:\n \n\n\n\t\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tUsing an old flood to fill in:\n \n\n\n\t\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t... to get results like this:\n \n\n\n\t\n \n"
