Lighting Advice

[AmberC]

Hi Michael,
I have been shooting for the past 3 yrs. Yes I understand shutter speed, apeture, ISO etc. No, no training. I have my background support system and a few props. Working on backgrounds. But really need to start looking at lighting systems.
What I'm looking for are some brand names and/or models to look for.
Thanks,
Amber

I don't shoot for a living, so I use the alien bees. You could check out their website at www.alienbees.com. They are part of the Paul C. Buff company that also manufacture the White Lightning brand of lighting gear.
