Absolutely!

Lights are lights - they don't have to be color calibrated and they don't have to be fancy. There are lamp sockets with large (about 12" long) spring grips that can be purchased with large aluminum bowl shaped reflectors very cheaply. Reflectors are cheap to make using large sheets of cardboard and aluminum foil. Using nothing but the clamp on lamps and strategically placed reflectors you can throw light anywhere you want it. You really need only two lamps, one for the frontal lighting and one for modeling light to give 3-dimensionality. Check out web sites that describe Rembrandt lighting for portraits.

For backdrops, almost anything works, so long as it is not distracting.

Remember, Irving Penn made big money posing people in front of a dirty bed sheet.

wow thanks for the great advice

i will try it

thanks
