I've been shooting portraiture and weddings for a couple of years now; however, most of my work as been with camera mounted flash and natural light.

Now, I'm looking to do professional work for kitchens. What is the most economical and effective lighting kit I could use to get the job done. I'd rather get something I can use in my studio that I am building...preferably *not* strobes, but constant light sources.

I'd like to know how any of you are doing this type of professional work and what lighting set ups you are using and recommendations.

Thank you,

-Brett

You might want to have a mod move this to the lighting forum.

They will know better than I but I think some of the Adorama kits are pretty decent for the price.

Might suggest looking at HDR.

Done properly, interiors look great with that technique.

Using constant light might be the worst thing for a kitchen. They usually have flourescent lighting mized w/ daylight. Now if you use incandescent lights you'll have 3 different color temps in the shot. At least you can gel your strobes to match one of the colors.
