hey guys, anyone got any ideas on putting together a decent but affordable lighting setup for photographing studio work. Are there kits you can get?
I'm find the sun has a bad habit of moving on me and clouds are behaving badly down the back of the classroom.

well, maybe check out the photo stores. they got people, getting paid to advise you.
- I'll pop down at lunch. Just seeing what people use for their setups here. Cheers.Cenitgrade

call me a cunt but there's plenty of kits out there and honestly, between most of them there is little relevant difference for classroom work.
look at 2nd hand shit...

I just did a shoot with an SB 900 flash (can shoot remotely) and I could see how having another flash on a stand with an umbrella would produce some nice results. The flashes are expensive but easy to cart around.
You can also just go rent the stuff.

cheers everyone. I won't be photographing models, more flat art work and print pieces. So I'll only need a small rig. I'll look through the other threads and see what other people are up to.

i saw a setup somewhere with the guy using a clear rubbermaid type large storage bin, some extra large binder clips, 2 clamp lights, some matte poster board and a white pillowcase for a diffuser. i'll see if i can find the link for you.

not the same one, but a good idea on the cheap.
