You've got a lot of choices for lighting. Anything from the studio lights, like
Alien Bees, to a couple of small flash units and even simple painter's lights
with daylight bulbs.

You can find painter's lamps at a home supply store for $10.

You can use anything to reflect the light. A white wall, piece of fabric, foamcore, cardboard, paper plate(s), plastic sheets, umbrella, softbox, etc all largely do the same thing.
