After reading through some blogs, the odd book and old photo mags it looks like there are a fair few people out there that seem to believe that the simplest way to start off in studio photography is to keep things simple: one or two lights, a reflector or two and the biggest softbox imaginable.
Any contradictory thoughts on this would be welcome.
But really I was wondering what people thought of the relatively cheap softboxes on offer on the auction sites?
For about 50 quid there is a lencarta 150cm octagon soft box and a Walimex 140cm with gold/silver inserts. Has anybody ever used these or does anybody have any other suggestions?
I'm likely to just be doing single person or one adult and a baby portraits in a home studio.. I already have a 65cm and a 53cm... do you think getting something larger would be useful... or am I just trying overcome my own inadequacies by buying stuff... at least I haven't suggested upgrading my nifty 50 for a 24-70 L..... yet!
