Softbox Canon
What do you recommend as far as lights go for studio photography starting out.?
I’m wanting to get into some studio/portrait photography but not looking to invest a ton of money right off the bat. I don’t know where to start though with the lighting aspect. How much wattage should I aim for? Strobe or consistent? I normally video weddings and I see a lot of photographers who will have just a flash on a stand with a softbox around it and that’s all they use as their secondary light, is it better to just get an extra flash and put it on a stand as opposed to buying an extra light? I have a Digital Canon Rebel, do I need to get a radio slave to pop the flashes/lights? What should I realistically be expecting to pay to get a decent lighting set up. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not looking to get into wedding photography, just some studio stuff and portraits.
Don’t go with hot lights (constantly on), your models don’t want to stand there in 90° temps staring at bright light.
Use strobes! For a cheapo setup, do what I did:
Two light stands (ebay, $20 total)
Two flash/umbrella holders (ebay, $15)
Two Vivitar 285HVs (ebay, $90)
Two sync cords (BHPhoto, $20)
Sync Splitter (ebay, $7)
Grey card (BHPhoto, $3)
Two Softbox umbrellas (ebay, amvona.com auctions, $40)
Two shoot thru umbrella (ebay, amvona.com auctions, $15)
So now for $210 you’ve got a decent lighting setup. Add a background and you can do indoor posed shots.
For the digital rebel, you’ll also need a hot shoe converter to get the sync cables to hook up. Don’t worry, that’s only another $10.
