Photo Lighting Kit
March 2nd, 2008
I need a photo studio lighting kit. Any suggestions?
I don’t want to buy junk. On the other hand, I’m not a professional photographer, so I don’t want to spend big bucks either.
What brands should I be looking at?
How many lights should I get (portrait work)?
Monobloc or separate power supply?
What features should I look for?
Budget < $1,000
The Oct. 2007 issue of Shutterbug Magazine was devoted to lighting. You can read it at shutterbug.com, just type lighting in the Search box.
