Setting Up A Studio In A Salon???

Cuties02q

I already posted once about this but I have more ?s This is not something I would normally shoot so this is a whole new thing for me :scratch I will need to set up a mini studio in a hair salon for headshots. I don't have any lighting or backdrops and I don't want to spend a ton of money, so I was thinking of using seamless paper and would this lighting work? http://www.adorama.com/JTDL320LK.html?searchinfo=strobes&item_no=3#ProductReviews or do you guys have any other ideas for me? Thanks!!

Hi

I'm certain that the 2 light monolight set-up should do fine. I'm envisioning a real tight set-up in a salon and might mention a couple of things.
1) a boom for a hair light
2) soft boxes instead of umbrella's to get closer
and this brings me up to another light (3rd)
one as a main, second as a fill and third as a hair light.
I didn't see anything about the heads being adjustable as far as intensity. therefore you will have to move the lights forward or backwards or feather them.
I wouldn't doubt that (in this case) you could find a used 3 or 4 light system (power pack) for around the same money that this system cost. Plus power pack heads are lighter to move and less likely to tip over.
Just some thoughts, bsvirginian
