Hi.

I have a question concerning the set-up of a studio at home. Basically, I need to furnish a space in which to take portaits. I already own a good tripod and 35mm SLR, but am unsure of what should or shouldn't be used in a studio environment.

Can anyone please give me advice on:

a) Lighting: What do I need to start off with.
b) Reflectors. Will I need them?
c) Umbrella-thingies. What do they do and will I need one?
d) Hand-held lightmeter. Will I need one? Should I trust the Matrix-system in my camera?
e) Anything else you think I need to know.
