The lighting I use is all natural - I look like crap under a flash. lol This set-up involved a little nook by my backdoor. I strung up a dark blue velvet fabric about 3 and a half feet or 4 feet away from a window for a backdrop, then just set up my tripod right in front of the window (I had to smush the legs closer together so everything would fit in that tiny space). It was a rainy, overcast day so I didn' thave to worry about the tripod casting much of a shadow. The nice thing about using the velvet, too, is that it absorbs light instead of reflects it, so I don't have to worry about that messing up my lighting.
I'm actually going to be modeling for a photographer on Sunday who's going to teach me about studio lighting - I'm excited! There are all sorts of cheap alternatives to pricy studio light sets, I just need to figure out what would work best.
