    I'm looking into setting up my own home photo studio for portraits. However I don't know much about lighting so hardly know where to start when identifying which lighting setup to go for. I have been browsing the Bowens and Jessops websites which both have a number of packages.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I shoot digital with a canon 300D.

    First things first, before you dive into buying a load of gear the best advice I could give is to get into a course thats hands on. There is so much choice in terms of gear to buy that you can spend a fortune and not have what you want.

    I did a course (a long time ago with Dave) and found it excellent http://www.iop.ie/courses/studio_beginners.htm

    Nice bump on a 6 year old thread....

    As Boarder fox says, you are better to do a course or read up on studio lighting before you go and splash the cash. Light is light, its knowing how to use it what will make all the difference.
