Hi there,
I would like to gather some thoughts on a list of home studio lighting kit given to me by photography books. Here goes:
List:
3 x 250 watt photoflood bulbs
3 x Flood reflectors
1 x Spot reflector
3 x Light stands
I'm wondering if the light stands will fit all light heads? (It probably does... :dunno
What are the commonly used brands you guys are using?
What will the prices be like?
Where can I buy these things?
Types of shoot:
This is my first attempt at indoor lighting. Purpose of this set up is just to pick up a new skill and probably move on to learning how to light portraits and still life.
I'm particularly interested in using this home studio kit to learn more about solid forms, texture and transparent glow.
Size of location:
I'll probably be doing most of the picture taking in my room which is fairly small. I'll probaby set aside an 8 feet wide and 12 feet high area.
I googled www.bhphotovideo.com but they have an enormous variety to select from. Short of buying whatever "looks decent" I'd really appreciate if anyone with experience in studio lighting/equipment can point me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot.
