Question from Nicole: ” want to upgrade my studio lighting What would you recommend as of right now I have that umbrella lighting but I want more of the soft box natural type of light or a lighting that’s not too warm thank you :)”
David: Great question, Id like to know as well along with what backdrops are the best.
Denise: Ooh, same here! I need to know both of those things
Brian: It would be helpful to know what you currently have. No point suggesting bee’s if you already have bee’s…
Lisa: Which alien bees do you suggest?
Beth: I use the alien bees 400 and 600 with soft boxes
Jaye: I get just about the same results when I use my umbrellas that I do with my soft boxes (I use umbrellas outside of the studio since they are smaller and lighter). The trick is to learn how to use what you have to get the results you want. Umbrella scan produce some beautiful soft light if you know how to use them!
Robin: I love my Alien Bee light!!
