I'm quite at home shooting in 'natural' light - i.e. outdoors or indoors without the aid of fancy lighting or flash techniques, but I've been asked to do a few shots of people at work (nothing fancy, just for small profile pics for our internal website etc) and I'm learning quickly that there's only so much you can do with a camera and one flash gun bouncing off the ceiling..

But the problem is, I know nothing about more complicated methods of studio lighting..

Where do I start? What do I need? Without going mad with tens of bits of equipment, what would be a simple start to getting a nice even spread of light for shooting portraits in a crappily lit office environment?


Cheers
