Hi
I have been asked by a few friends and family to take some portrait shot of them

and if you look in my gallery, I don't do people

My question is, what is the bare minimum of equipment I will need to be able to take some half decent portrait shots.
Mainly asking about home studio setup (lights, umbrellas, backdrop etc, without spending an arm and a leg (as I will need arms and legs to take the photo's)
Thanks
Lello
