I've sort of asked about this in another thread I made before (regarding wireless flash triggering outdoors), but circumstances changed where I now will take photos indoors, which simplifies things a ton (I believe).
So basically I'm going to be taking prom photos (individuals and couples), they've decided to move it indoors and setup some nice decorational lighting and stuff like that.
I have my trusty K-1, three flashes (Pentax 540fgz and 360fgz, Sigma ef 500 super Canon mount).
I was planning to use my Tamron 70-200 when the shoot was outdoors, but I might reconsider and use another lens instead since working distance would be much tighter, and I'm probably going to take full body shots.
Now I'm thinking I'll bring my dfa 28-105 and 15-30 with me, and maybe my Tamron 90 macro if I will have an opportunity to shoot more artistically with blurred background etc. (thinking their decorations and light might give nice background).
Now, after this long intro - I'm looking at best/easiest ways to light the scene. I have purchased 2 47" softboxes (I have 7' stands for those), I also have two umbrellas and a 12" fstoppers disc knockoff. I have a pair of wireless triggers that I was planning to use for the two main flashes in softboxes, and maybe add a third flash (360fgz) as a hair highlight on a tripod (as a wireless slave). How would you position the main flashes? 45 degree angles to people in the shot? Would you set one flash at full power and another one at a lower value? Or both at full? Would you even use a third flash for hair highlights, or you think it's an overkill?
Any help much appreciated, always grateful for awesome knowledge I get on PF
