Hi,
I've decided I'm missing out on an area of photography where I believe my creativity might get me some interesting shots. I'm planning to do some artistic stuff with a female model shooting indoors. Currently I only have either the on-board camera flash or a speedlite at my disposal. I've been scoping the Bowens Gemini 400RX Twin head softbox kit. Would this or a similar two head kit get me up and running with the addition of a couple of reflectors? I need to get this sorted soon so I can spend a pile of time acquainting myself with the camera and lighting combination. I will primarily be using a 7D mk2 for now with the kit. I am looking at booking a model and location for three weeks time, hence my needing to get what I need asap. The Bowens kit is currently at the upper end of my budget, so I figured I'd make myself skintish on a two head set I can add to, which will hopefully be reasonable rather than get more items of an inferior quality. I appreciate that in reality the quoted product is not expensive when one starts looking at higher end gear, I just cannot for now justify blowing a big pile of cash on something I might be crap at.
Many thanks
Tim
