maria asked:


I have done some portrait photography…children, family ect. Don’t have any lights yet, so I was thinking of buying a couple inexpensive lights with umbrellas….should I get the strobe lights or continuous lighting?

    Get the strobe, more power, more depth of field for you. Don’t go cheap, they will only frustrate you. There is no place to repair them or replace bulbs. Buy an Alien Bee and get more as you have the cash. One Bee umbrellaed and one bounced on camera strobe can be a wonderful start.
