What light equipment should I purchase?
I am going to be purchasing some studio lighting equipment, and I would like some advice.
I mostly shoot portrait photography that is more on the side of conceptual and fashion and I do in fact have two lights with soft boxes already along with reflector disks.
However, I have been looking into other light units that involve a main control unit and quite honestly I'm completely lost.
Any advice on sites to check out or specific equipment ideas?
What are the lights you have now? What is your budget? I assume you are looking for strobes? I would not recommend constant lighting for portraiture. It's pretty uncomfortable to use for the subject and can heat a room up pretty fast. You can get some great cool temp lights, but you are talking some GIANT dollar investment for them.
Sounds as if you will need quite a bit of flexibility in your lights for what you are doing. You may need a lot of light or just a very little, you could be lighting up several people or just one and doing it dramatically. Am I on the right track here? .
The new Einsteins by Paul C. Buff are pretty incredible and that is what I would go with if I were purchasing today. They are spendy but 100% worth it. You will also need a trigger setup to go with those lights. Choice 1 would be pocket wizards. Choice 2 would be the Cyber Commander setup by Paul C. Buff.
If that is out of budget there are a whole bunch of other options out there. Next step down being the alien bees by Paul C. Buff.
Whatever you purchase a minimum WPS of 300. A 150WPS light is good for a background or hair light, but won't give you a whole lot of help when lighting up a family shoot.
I generally shoot with 2 300WPS strobes and 2 150WPS background lights. I usually only USE one of those background lights, but occasionally you will need a second one as a hair light or fill.
