Hi all

I am getting more and more frustrated, and more interested in doing small studio work to get different effects with lighting colors on small objects with wide angles.

At preent i have no studio lighting, I use house lighting and on camera flash, and a few table lamps dotted around. I am also very limited is space, the room is narrow, and I cannot get around the large table
I am especially interested in using UWA lenses on object to get wired shapes and view,s but it also means the camera lenses are often very close to the object.

I really not to sure what way to turn, get a studio lighting kit set up, but will it get light all around the subject if the lens is close to the front of the object?

or

Go for 2nd hand flash guns, and trigger them all remotely, and put gels over them etc. i would need stands, triggers, receivers, well everything
If a studio lighting kit, what ones would you recommend

Any advice appreciated, I live in the UK, Thanks
