We want to setup to photo motorcycles in a studio like environment.
Problem is we are just starting out and poor.
We want to go for the all white floor and background look for starters.
We have leads on a couple locations where we can put down some white linoleum and hang some white paper or the like.
But good lord the lighting costs! The overhead units and big soft boxes like the Chimeras and such are way out of our reach budget wise.
I am a retired machinist and metal fabricator. One of my partners is a retired electrician & instrumentation man.
We are good with our hands and if possible to obtain the hardware we can DYI. We just have no idea of what to look for as for the hardware or alternate lower cost unconventional parts. Lamps and elements.............
Any suggestions for a poor mans light setup and techniques to get us started? Can we flash & bounce for less?
Anything you guys see to get us by with some clean empty background images of choppers and hogs.
There is a market here. There are photographers at meets doing OK in the live outdoor but no place near here to get studio like work shots done. Several custom shops turning out choppers.
