6ft Reflector and then some?

[Caserz1986]

Hey Everyone!


Quick question:


I have an upcoming session in a downtown studio with an upcoming fashion designer. She's looking for some shots to add to her "look book", and to kick off her website.


The studio is filled with wonderful huge windows, but I'm thinking perhaps I will need additional lighting. I'll also be utilizing a 6ft reflector.
Also, I do want to be careful not to lose detail in the gowns.


Any suggestions?




Thanks!

If it's solid north light on a good day, you could get by pretty well with the giant reflector, and a few flags and cards (i.e. black and white foamcore).

Shoot in raw, meter for the highlights, and bracket like hell (if possible).
