Garage Photo Shoot Question???

[mama-to-2]

Has anyone ever done one? I've been asked to photograph an author for her book jacket picture (just a head and shoulders type of shot...no problem). But now in addition to the book jacket picture, it has turned into a whole photo shoot unrelated to the book picture. I do not have enough room in my house to do the kind of photographs she wants, but I think the garage might work out okay. I need to know where to set up my backdrop and subject in relation to the the open garage door. Where do I set up lights? Thanks for any and all info!

Well whenever I do a garage photo shoot I don't use lights b/c I use the natural light from the open garage door. I usually need some sort of reflector though. This is an article that shows how to use natural light w/the garage

I would love to hear how others do it, and if you do use lights, which lights you are using and how you set them up.
