I currently have a basic 2 light studio kit. It has two 500 Watt, 10" diameter lights. I have not really used them at all (translate - complete beginner).
The few times I tried them, they didn't seem to produce much light, and what light they did put off seemed cold and harsh. I would like to add a nice soft light, and I'm wondering what anyone recommends.
Since I wish to photograph children (and they are constantly moving), do I need a flash unit to 'freeze' the motion?
Also, does anyone know if you can buy diffusers for the basic lights mentioned above?
Thanks for any advice.
