Studio Lighting Kits – Things to Know Before Buying One
Studio lighting was not my passion until recently. In fact I’m not professional photographer at all and I have completely different job. When my first son was born I decided to spend some money and buy a good SLR camera and I bought a Nikon D80. However, soon I realized that the camera doesn’t magically make super quality images and I didn’t really like all my pictures and especially the ones taken at home. This was due to the poor lighting of course.
After long digging in internet I decided to invest a little money into a studio lighting kit. I have to admit that this is one of my best purchases I have ever made. What I really like is that with my studio kit I have control over the environment and I achieve decent results. In the beginning I didn’t follow any rules and just pointed my strobes at my subject without thinking too much. However, I have to admit that these are the pictures I like the most (may be because they were my first ones with studio strobes).
Later I started to learn more and more and I tried some different studio lighting techniques like Rembrandt Lighting, Butterfly Lighting and Hatchet Lighting. These are really simple techniques but you get really good portraits. Of course in some cases you need more than just one strobe. In most cases, in addition to your main light, you will need light for the background and also another one for “hair” light (to achieve this nice separation from the background). This is where you realize that a studio lighting kit is a good investment – in some cases buying all components separately can triple the cost than buying them as a kit! Almost all kits come with 2 or 3 flash strobes and stands for them, softboxes, umbrellas and barn door with honeycomb grids and color gels. Even though it’s not mandatory, most studio kits come with wireless trigger (transmitter and receiver), and also sync cord. Some kits may include backdrops and even stands for them. Also, all studio lighting kits come with a good bag which makes them much more portable.
From all components the most important ones are of course the flash strobes. A good strobe is not necessarily with much power – I’d say that for home studio you only need 250 w/s. However, the power defines the recycling time (the time necessary for the strobe to recharge). At max power it takes more time. My strobes are 300 w/s and their recycling time at full power is about 2.5 – 3 seconds. This is good enough for home studio I think, even though sometimes I miss “the shot”.
