Hi everyone,
I'd really like to get some sort of seamless background studio going when I get my tax return. I have a rough idea of the end result but triggers, which strobes, stands, and accessories are a challenge to find cheap and yet reliable.
I'd like to ideally get this:
Gear List:
4 Strobes (prefered) OR 2 strobes and 2 sources of constant white light that I can apply gels too.
a seamless white background
the necessary stands for the paper roll, strobes
1 transmitter and 3 receivers
2 peices of white tile board for reflection and base.
Softbox
Grids for key lighting.
I was looking at photoflex triggers (look like rf602's) or Cactus V5s. Strobes were the Photoflex Starfires http://www.photoflex.com/Pro_Products/Accessories/StarFire_trade___digital_flash/index.htm.
Any opinions would be great. I have about 1300-1450 to play with, less is obviously better. Maybe I only need 3 strobes and one from above the background to illuminate it.
Here is my quick paint mock up attached.
I hope this is feasible, I'd really like to do some strobe work, and I've seen some inspiring photos done with it. As well, the strobes would help with things like snowboarding photos. I'll save longer if it's not able to be done properly with my given budget, I'd rather start off right and have gear that will last me.
Thanks for looking
