Larry:

I wouldn't plan on shooting any full length shots. Your subject would have to be very near the backdrop and the shot carefully composed for the top not to show. And you wouldn't be able to place a hair light or background light unless the subject was seated. But, other than that.....................

BTW, you didn't mention how long or wide the space is.

9ft ceiling(and I thought that was tight), but its about 14x10, getting rid of the background support on a stand and going to place the bar on the wall..saves me about 2ft.
I'm going to stick to one light for now and learn something

This was a set up at a clients location set up in their warehouse. I had to shoot some of their products in a bathroom environment for their boxes. Below the set is a picture of a box with a finished picture on it that was taken during this shoot.

Don't happen to have a blueprint for the PVC thing do ya?

what were you using for the transparent (semi?) plastic the items are on?

Jpix, I dub that the home depot table.

Those clamps are amazingly strong (my models can't open them, they are suprised when I do) for only $.99 a piece.

Sid I think you can easily get how to build the table from looking at it.

It's neat where he placed the softbox, but I would be concerned about sturdiness looking at the design. Then again you aren't putting 70 lbs on it.

Probably perfectly fine for how it is.

I'd have to work around some weight equipment but i'm thinking of hanging some black curtains along the side of the space and I should be able to get at least ten feet away from someone 5 feet from the backdrop, just not sure how wide I can make it yet.

Larry:

I guarantee that the top of the background will show for a standing subject with the distances you describe. Do what you can. But, I doubt that you'll be able to shoot full length.

I'm thinking full legnth is out of the question also. I think this will be for practicing on my 2 y/o and maybe some portraits. I guess I could always rig something up in another room if I need to do full legnth. NOW, I just need some info on one light setups. thanx. :-)

I stand corrected. Yes, you could shoot a two year old full length! If you can get him/her to hold still long enough.

We just moved into a new place, an old former Masonic Temple in the Bay Area. It needs some work, but it's better than my living room, about 2000 square feet and 20' ceilings, and the available light is great.

Here's a couple of a friend that I shot today:

I love that using the lights is merely an option!

Maurice, what a great studio. Nice high ceilings, lots of room and lots of old time character even real wood floors. I am totally jealous. I would love to find something like that down here but property is so expensive they demolish old buildings like that and turn them into condos.

Congrats on the new studio and have a great time shooting in it.

Maurice,

I love the space!! I am so jealous of those huge ceilings. Is it one big open area, or do you have room for bathroom, office, changing room, etc.?

No, I don't have anything documented [though I have been meaning too]. If I ever get around to documenting it, I'll be sure and post it. I have actually modified it a bit but some of the basics are still the same. The plexi is 1/8th inch which allows enough flexibility to form the curve. I have actually lowered the table to give me some more working room on the table top. Doing that meant I could no longer use that soft box so I moved it directly overhead. On the bottom, I used a profoto beauty dish to illuminate the bottom which worked out great. For the back, I also added another light to even out the illumination.

Trenchau is right, the design is not that sturdy but for what I was doing, it was fine. Lowering the table did help with stability and additional supports can certainly be added.

WOW... looking at all of these makes my "studio" look minimal. Taking a corner of the garage. And, considering all I have to shoot are some small static items in the studio. Not really my forte. But, here it is...

BTW, there's also an SB800 on the left. And now a pair of SB-28's top and right.

And I've found that by shooting, much can be learned about lighting. I've really learned a lot about shooting glossy items.
