Studio Photography Equipment?

I am looking for:
2x Studio flash (above 180 watt)
1x Continuous lighting (above 180 watt)
2x Soft box for studio flash (medium)
1x Soft box for continuous lighting (medium)
3x Stands
5 in 1 reflector
1 Light meter
1 Olympus slr camera remote
1 Bag to store everything

It should be:
Order-able to Europe
or
Buy-able in Switzerland or Germany.

Should all in all be around 500 chf (=340pounds, 390Euros)

Thanks.
If you find any background curtains with stand then that would be awesome as well.
All I would like to know really is: do you know a website that isn't too expensive and is in Switzerland/Germany or one can order it?

(thanks everyone so far )

Not exactly what you are looking for but pretty close

Ok ... you need to put more space between your "model" and the wall. Product shots also require off camera flash work ... not the popup flash that's built in.

To shoot a product shot like that, I would use 3 lights with umbrellas.

You can get all that you need on ebay for about 300$...

BTW, I own the setup I'm suggestiong (give or take a few slight differences and I jusrt ordered 4 more flashes and 2 trigger kits extra).

You can get a pretty inexpensive kit that is actually worth getting for around 300$.

Get 2 or 3 YUNGTUO YN-460 shoe mount flashes (or more ... I'm about to order a couple more). They are in expensive (43$) but work great. They just don't have any of the fancy features you would use for on camera lighting but since this is for studio lighting it doesn't matter,

Here on ebay:http://cgi.ebay.com/YN-460-Slave-Flash-Canon-50D-40D-30D-5D-Diffuser-/230591676416?pt=Camera_Flash_Accessories&hash=item35b055c000#ht_4169wt_905

So that's 86$ to 130$

Get a couple of lightstands (50$ total)

http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-Light-Stand-1-90m-63-Studio-lighting-300W-/320664119664?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa9122970#ht_3103wt_905

Get some unbrella holder and umbrellas (32$ each)

http://cgi.ebay.com/White-Umbrella-Flash-Light-Tripod-Stand-Mount-/320662594518?pt=AU_Cameras_Photographic_Accessories&hash=item4aa8fae3d6#ht_3105wt_905

Get some remote triggers (30$)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Wireless-Flash-Trigger-2-Receiver-Canon-40D-30D-20D-/320664548656?pt=Camera_Flash_Accessories&hash=item4aa918b530#ht_3634wt_905

Then you can get a background kit with a grey motled backdrop like this one: (55$)

http://cgi.ebay.com/dmk2-Background-Support-Set-9x12-Backdrop-New-/120691666627?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c19c8aec3#ht_1885wt_1139

So around 300$

You'll eventually want to add more receivers, get 1 or 2 more flashes, get a black umbrella, maybe a soft box ... but the kit above should serve you well to start.

I'd suggest getting a demo kit of gels ... so you can gell your background flash (25$)

Here are some shots I did with a similar kit (no gels).
My website is a bit of a mess but here is a shoot I did for some model portfolios:

Here are a few more from some weddings:

The nice thing with this kit also is that it doesn;t rely on the availability of power outlets so you can bring it to an outdoor shoot and not worry.

Anyways, good luck.
