studio lighting?
I am a beginner and i want to buy some umbrella lights to do some photography in my home. I don’t want the best, i just need something as a beginner. What wattage should i get? If anybody knows of a link for a good set, let me know.
I don’t own them myself, but Alien Bees has become the most recommended brand for value, reliability and customer service.
Here’s a basic home basement studio setup using Bees (scroll down to Misc. Equipment):
