Set-up Shot:
As you can see from the set-up image, I am using a DIY Light box, made from cutting two sides out and taping bits of white bed sheets to these areas. Inside the box, on the top side is a white poster-board to aid with reflecting light. There are two different coloured backgrounds in use, a white and a black ground, that are taped in place.
Two speedlights are placed at 45degress to the box, both set to E-TTL and dialled down -1 by using the Flash Exposure Compensation on the Master, non-firing flash sat on camera.
