What type of studio lights, reflectors, and equipment do I need for home studio lighting?
Kayster asked:
I own a Nikon D40 with a 18-55mm lens/wide angle and macro lens. I have taken beautiful photos outside with natural light, but when it comes to taking nice portraits at home-it doesn’t look right. I would like to take photographs and have Rembrandt lighting on my subjects. I would like the opinions of photographers/graphic designers-and anyone else that seriously knows. Thank you very much for your input.

how important is lighting or the right angle of the camera to making your subject look good?

A picture often says a lot about a person… I mean, its a reflection of your image. However no matter how beautiful a person is, do you find that if the angle is off or the lighting is terrible… it often makes a person look bad?

I have taken 100’s of pictures of my friends… and those friends that I find attractive. Yet maybe 50% of those pictures are not so flattering due to setup. But they always take it personally.
In your opinion how important is lighting or the right angle of the camera to making your subject look the most attractive?
