How does photography external lighting work?
Francesca asked:
I have a canon powershot sx10 and i am looking to create a cheap beginner home studio. I’m wondering what will I need (lights, umbrellas, etc) and when I take a picture how does the external flash work? Is it attached to the camera itself via a cord? Or is the flash triggered when I take a picture? I’m not talking about the flash on the camera, I’m talking about the lamps. I’ve been photographing all my life but never used ‘professional’ lighting kits before and am interested in learning to use them.

What kind of lighting do I need to start my home-based photo studio?
MissTiff asked:
I have a canon rebel, a 430EX speedlite flash, and a tripod. I will be mostly doing children’s and family portraits and I want to get some good indoor lighting materials/kits. What do I need? There is way too much out there. What can I get to start with that won’t break the bank, but will do the job?
