STG Studios

for "beginner" portrait photographers...which would you pick?

I'm am still a beginner photographer and am looking to do some portrait photos...and was wondering if any of these are worth buying for beginners
thanks for your advice,tips,hints in advance

I have always used continuous lighting in my studio, any type even cheap tungsten halogen or fluorescent works a treat, with DSLR's you can calibrate the white balance in camera so you no longer have to buy expensive photofloods.

I do have strobes and they are handy as shutter speed has little bearing on the exposure so camera shake isn't a problem and you can work hand held, but continuous lighting enables you to see the results before you press the shutter not analyse your pictures after on a small screen. Throw enough light into the set and I can still work with shutter speeds of 1/250th of a second or faster.

It just goes to show how the method you were trained in is the method you tend to adopt throughout your career.
