Good questions
I want to 'learn' studio work for portraits/families etc. although I'm not sure the room is long enough (3600mm)
So, I want some basic (for basic read cheap

) equipment with the idea of progressing as I learn. I realise that flash on it's own is no good so I want to find out the minimum necessary for my needs.
I am now semi retired with income to match so the idea is to supplement with family/kids photos etc. As I have a room doing little it seems a good possibility although, as I say, not sure it's big enough.
I will have a look at that link-thanks
