Studio Continuous
Posted on Friday, August 7, 2009 in Photography

What is the best watt umbrella lighting to use in a portrait photography studio?
I am opening a photography studio and would like to know what lighting system would be the best for continuous lighting for groups up to five people. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I use Lowel Tota-lights with 750 watt lamps in them. They can also be used when shooting video.
For shooting groups of up to five or six people, I use four of them. Two stacked on the left to provide even key lighting and two stacked on the right for fill.
The shoot-through umbrellas suppled with the kits provide excellent even lighting
