You would need a main light and a fill light and a background is always nice to have but not necessary. Go to you local camera store and buy a light kit of 2 hot lights. The kit will come with stands. Also you will need a photographic umbrella. Get 250 watt bulbs with a light temperature of 3200 degrees kelvin. All total should be about $125-$150.

Strobe is the most common used for studio lighting for people. There are many pros and cons to each type, but you can't go wrong with a good set of strobes. Alien Bees are very popular, and of good quality for the price. You can get basic sets to get you started. Here is the site: You can check out the Alien Bees Packages to see the various options and prices offered. Here is a good starter set that you will not outgrow quickly: I also highly suggest you get a remote trigger for the lights so you will not have to be running a sync cord and tripping over it and pulling it out of your camera or light: steve [who]<a href="http://www.websbestshoes.com/"> Steve P</a> There are two basic types… continuous and strobe.
