What lighting equipment do you use?

I haven't shot with virgin amateurs much, mostly with pro or semi-pro adult models and I was not the one directing the shootings, as the outfit I was with was ran along the lines of military hierarchy. It made me go nuts too.

Now that I run my own show, I always meet the girl for a chat, coffee or lunch before the first (test) shooting. Most of the time, I often don't even take pictures of her at this first meeting. Just chatting.

I forgot to mention... I shoot no hardcore. Bikini, lingerie and some nude shots only. No female masterbation stuff or insertions either. Just straight-up amateur models posing.


Outdoor shoots are fun with a digital too.


Certainly having a gopher is great for doing all that stuff, and I've considered getting someone to do all that for me, but I don't shoot often enough right now to warrant it, and most of the models I've worked with lately have been new. I find that most new girls tend to be a bit nervous and unsure of themselves at first, and prefer having the least amount of eyes on them possible.
