Are you photographing people or product? This was shot with a desk lamp and black material

This was shot with one umbrella light and black jersey material
You could duplicate that with a flood bounced off a white ceiling. [who]

Windows make grand big soft lights and if direct sun nice hard lights as well. IT is easy to pick up a sheet of white form core for a reflector at the store and use a kitchen chair with some masking tape to hold it in place to fill in the shadows.

The wall of the room is always a good start for a background. Just watch for the power outlets they tend to mess up the image. Paint is cheep so you can change the colors and while your at it freshen up the whole room look after the shoot.. just remember, one splotch of paint is not all that nice later so only do that if your willing to do the whole room after the shoot.

If you have a window, and it is day, you light. If you table lamps, you have light. If you have ceiling light, you have light. The question is what can your camera do? Do you have a DSLR, SLR, point and shoot, disposable film camera. Built in flash?

Look at these set ups

Depending on the mood you’re trying to convey Ex:(candles,flames=romance,spooky,mystery).Since your on a budget go to a dollar store or something and get you a king size bed sheet use it as is or throw some paint on it to give yourself a pattern. [who]

GO INTO THE DARK and take a photo, with a torch lightly shining over someone/something. It will give a spooky effect. Something like this…http://imgs.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2005/01/22/ho_moma_5.jpg [who]
