Hi
We're in the process of renting our photo studio. We're Montreal-based, and it's primarily aimed at amateurs and semi-pro photographers. Sometimes students as well. Sometimes others come in to film a video.
At the beginning, we didn't offer flash heads / lights since we expected photogs to come with their own gear, but it looks like every photo shoot needs lights.
Here's what we are adding currently:
- 1 400W studio strobe light with 80 x 140cm softbox (with grid). The rectangular softbox can be replaced by an Octogon softbox (roughly same size)
- 1 400W studio strobe light with 22" beauty dish with honey comb
The strobes are optically triggered so that means anyone with a flash on their camera could use the setup.
What do you think of this as a basic kit? If you rent a photo studio, what would you need, as a minimum? We are discussing if we need a third light as a hair light, or other gliths. What about reflectors or blockers?
Thanks for your input,
