I am buying lighting for my indoor studio and was wondering what (if any) difference there is between tungsten lighting, and flourescent lighting. And which would be best to use and why. Any help that you can provide is very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Using properly balanced film or white balancing for digital, in your final photo it shouldn’t be detectable what kind of lighting was used, just the arrangement of the lights (split, butterfly, rembrandt, etc) .

    Personally, I would go with fluorescents. They use up less power and don’t generate much heat (i.e. don’t need to worry about your model sweating from being under the lights for too long and more of a fire hazard). Tungstens also tend to be inconsistent over time in the color they cast and fail a lot sooner.

    If your shooting digital, something like the ExpoDisc can really be convenient for setting a custom white balance quickly and easily.

    Truthfully, neither one of those can compare to a strobe system. If budget is tight and you can’t get strobes with modeling lights, even basic flashes work well enough on a light stand with an umbrella reflector. [who] j_acuff
