I do a little advertising photography at work sometimes. I don’t have studio facilities, but try to make use of available light combined with a flash as a moderate supplement.
Here I sat the camera on a tripod and moved to the side when exposing. I used the light from a window behind me as the main light source. The flash was placed one meter to the right, set to go of with a remote and pointed upwards to bounce of the ceiling.

What is your method when a studio is unavaiable?
