    Hey buddy quick photography question for you:
    What's your advice on a starter lighting kit?
    Indoors, for some sexy wife pics? :)
    Under $500?

    TIA!

    • softbox with cheap ass flash, tripod for that setup and a set of reflectors in silver, gold and white.mekk
    • You will notice the difference on expensive stuff only when you shoot long days and use it daily. Don't cheap out on lenses, toughmekk

    • Shoot through umbrella. Bounce of the room and you get softest light.pango
    • dark corridor with door to a lighted room. (use whatever light is available in the room or household to light it as as needed). shoot low key.uan
    • I photographed my whole book without flash light. Outside: look for a place in the shadow. Inside: large windows will do.SimonFFM
    • Only for Playboy/clients I use flash. I work with profoto, but only 1 light setups. Very simple.SimonFFM
    • Sexy wife pics: no flash, dim the lights, underexpose all the way...SimonFFM
    • Thanks Simon! Good infoHijoDMaite
