What kind of lights does Pam use?…Isn’t studio lighting hard to set up?…can I get started without lights?
OK, first let me say that there are many combinations of equipment you can use. Pam used the Speedotron Brown Line for a long time becuase, at the time we bought them, we were living in Chicago, that’s where the company is located, and it seemed like a good system at a decent price. The old lights served us well and still work, but Pam has replaced them with lights from the NYN Photo Store which are easier to use and more adjustable. We go over equipment issues, including lighting, thoroughly in the full Not Your Normal Photography® course, so I’m not going to get into it here. What’s important to know now, is that none of it needs to be very expensive, although you can end up spending a small fortune if you don’t know exactly what you need and where to get it (loading up on unnecessarily expensive, or inappropriate equipment, by the way, is a big reason for failure in this business!). You’ll find that setting up and using studio lighting (at least the way we do it), is extremely easy.
