Question for Readers: Studio Lighting Equipment
For some time now, I’ve wanted to experiment and learn more about lighting and portraiture. As far as lighting goes, I own one Canon Speedlite 580EX II and the STE-2 wireless transmitter. The wireless transmitter has definitely opened up my options a bit as far as lighting goes, but I still don’t feel like I have enough to do real portraiture. As a result, I’ve been considering buying some studio lighting equipment. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start.
I have been browsing through B&H Photo Video lately looking at my options. I found the following Tungsten Miniboom Three Flood Light Kit that didn’t appear too expensive (around $200). I was thinking of purchasing this along with a backdrop or two. Photo below linked to B&H:
So, for those of you that have already begun assembling your home studio, what would you recommend for a beginner? I don’t want to spend a huge amount of money to get started but I would be willing to put in a few hundred bucks for a basic set up and then work on expanding that. Thoughts? Recommendations?
