Holder Swivel Light
Question for fellow photographers?
Hey guys, new to photography here. I do most of my shots in my house, or in a subject's house or hotel/closed quarter location. I am lookiing to get lighting, and since Im a beginner, I want to start small. So I found a 32" Umbrella Studio Lighting Kit.
Here are the specs:
35W spiral daylight white light bulb = to 140W regular light bulb
Color temperature: 5500k,
(2) 7' light stands
(1) Small light stand
(3) AC swivel umbrella holders
(2) 32” translucent umbrellas
(3) 35WATTS 5500k daylight bulbs
(1) Carrying Case
Is this enough lighting for say, a general bedroom or hotel room? I shoot with a Canon Rebel
Ignore the hot lights kits.
Instead, I'd suggest the following. You might have to go a little over 250$.
Get 2 YUNGTUO YN-460 shoe mount flashes. They are in expensive (43$) but work great. They just don;t have any of the fancy features you would use for on camera lighting but since this is for studio lighting it doesn't matter,
Here on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/YN-460-Slave-Flash-Canon-50D-40D-30D-5D-Diffuser-/230591676416?pt=Camera_Flash_Accessories&hash=item35b055c000#ht_4169wt_905
So that's 86$
Get a couple of lightstands (50$ total)

Get some unbrella holder and umbrellas (32$ each)
http://cgi.ebay.com/White-Umbrella-Flash-Light-Tripod-Stand-Mount-/320662594518?pt=AU_Cameras_Photographic_Accessories&hash=item4aa8fae3d6#ht_3105wt_905
Get some remote triggers (30$)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Wireless-Flash-Trigger-2-Receiver-Canon-40D-30D-20D-/320664548656?pt=Camera_Flash_Accessories&hash=item4aa918b530#ht_3634wt_905
Then you can get a background kit with a grey motled backdrop like this one: (55$)
http://cgi.ebay.com/dmk2-Background-Support-Set-9x12-Backdrop-New-/120691666627?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c19c8aec3#ht_1885wt_1139
So around 300$
You'll eventually want to add more receivers, get 1 or 2 more flashes, get a black umbrella, maybe a soft box ... but the kit above should serve you well to start.
Here are some shots I did with a similar kit.
My website is a bit of a mess but here is a shoot I did for some model portfolios:
