Default Help asap!
I'm taking a headshot today and was going to use natural light from a window and reflector, b/c they want me to do this, but I haven't been able to purchase any lights yet. Well the weather today is beyond rainy, grey and gross. Is there anyway else I can do this since there's going to be no light whatsoever coming in? Can I use a table lamp adn reflector...anything?? I'm freaking out now. Please help.

Can you take the shoot outside? Clouds act as GREAT reflectors. Just make sure you still know where the sun is (use a compass if necessary). Turn your back to it, and your subject toward it. Shoot away and be happy!
