Just got to processing some pictures from a recent photoshoot. This shot was taken in a small hotel room using one of R&B Photography's portable studios. Everything I need fits into two bags and I can shoot just about anything a client requires. My first bag is a LowePro Vertex 300 AW backpack. In this bag I carry my two bodies, lenses, flash (I keep one in the bag in case I am out and about and need to use it), external battery pack for the flash, Stoffen Omni-Bounce, Rocket Blower, cleaning solution, shutter release cords, wireless triggers, memory cards, bunch of Eneloop batteries and various cables.The second bag is a KATA OC-97 Organizer Case. This case is made for small to medium lighting kits with 4 heads and light stands but that is not portable enough for me. I use small flashes to light my subjects. I like the bag because it's a padded hard case which I can check on an airplane without concern. In it I carry additional flashes, light stands, tripod, monopod, flash bracket, umbrellas, reflectors, colored gels for flashes, battery chargers, medium sized foldable light tent, back drops and more. Seems to be working out great for me as I just carry the back pack and pull the organizer case (it has wheels) and i'm off to a photoshoot in a rather small package.
For this shot I used three strobes. Had the 580EXII as a master mounted on the 40D. 430EX camera left with silver bounce umbrella as my key light. 430EX camera right with shoot through umbrella for fill.
