I was wondering what kind of lighting kit would be best to invest in ( i.e Strobe kit, Flood, using umbrella’s soft boxes, etc.)? I’m not looking cheap, but more so something that will last and is of good quality that will produce good quality lighting as a beginner as well as the expert I one day hope to be!
