I do volunteer photography for the local senior center and
they recently asked me to set up a photo station at one of their events. I used
a Godox AD600 strobe and a 40-inch beauty dish soft box. For the backdrop I
used a multicolored foil curtain (https://www.shindigz.com/mardi-gras-foil-curtains/p/CTNPRE-PGG?gclid=CjwKCAjw7tfVBRB0EiwAiSYGM9lOCQUKgLKF6Mg1M22Ql36Knq2F-5OiXIwUM6c7MVDyAPz0or3SmhoCD6wQAvD_BwE
. They provided props for the participants to use in the photos. It was quite a
learning experience. I had problems with my light reflecting off of storefront windows,
bright overhead lights and people who just walked right through my set up. I
ended up moving everything into a back corner and lining up some chairs to keep
people from walking right in from my camera. I think the photos turned out not
great but probably okay. There are a number of things I would do different if I
ever do this again, like I said it was a great learning experience.
