Hey everyone,
I have a room in my house that I want to set up as a small studio, but the lights I'm using right now are very dangerous because they are continuous and I don't have light stands (I just clamp them whereever I can). In any case, I am really liking some of the portraits I've seen from photographers who are just using a softbox and reflector. I think I'd like to start out simply with that sort of set up (and not worry about hair lights and such for now). I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for what I should look for when I go to buy a softbox. Also, this is going to sound stupid, but the softbox isn't the same as the light correct? I'd have to buy that seperately? And a stand too right? If anyone can give me some advice about this stuff, I'd really really appreciate it!
