OK, I have been given permission by the boss to sort out a studio set up, portable, for use as a home/small studio kit. This has ot be on a tight budget and whilst I can shop around and find plenty of different kits that fit the bill, I am a bit stumped by how much power output is needed for use in relatively small spaces. In an ideal world I would like to go for a 3 light kit, but suspect two will be the end purchase based on finances. So, my research so far has found lights start at around 150W and go all the way up into the 1000's. My feeling is that 500-600W is enough for my needs, but bearing in mind the use of reflectors and the like, could this be lower, 300's of something? I am not averse to adding to these at a later date, but as an initial basic set up what is everyone else using/recommend please? :shrug:
oops, should have said, the idea is do a bit of portrait, full length and head/shoulders plus some still lifes, pets, that sort of thing. No huge groups or anything.
