Abstract
A special front lighting system for use in a relatively narrow room in which a large track mounted camera photographs subjects held on a subject holder. A pair of light sets located on support panels on opposite sides of the optical axis of the camera emit diverging light beams in opposite directions toward the side walls of the room. Mirrors are situated in the paths of the light beams to reflect light onto the subject holder with the same effect as imaginary light sets emitting beams directly toward the subject holder from locations outside of the room beyond the side walls. Light containment shields extend between each light support panel and mirror. The components of the lighting system are contained on self-supporting stands, each of which includes one light support panel, one light shield and one mirror panel hinged or otherwise held in a fixed position together.
