ideal lighting for new studio

I am looking at opening a new studio... what is the best studio i can get for multiple back drops?? please leave links or prices. I imagine this being in one room with about a 10ft high ceiling. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

you're losing me.

what do you mean by "what is the best studio i can get for multiple back drops?"?

like if i wanted a few diff backdrops in a studio (white, and a couple of others), what is the best lighting kit get the best results for all of these?

well, learning how to light correctly will yield you the best results from every lighting set up, however as far as brands go...what country are you located in?

in the US

Alien bees will be recommened by a bunch of people. I am one of those people, the prices are great and the lights are fantastic.

any specific kit that would be great?

i'd get four b800s. or two b400s and two b800s.

awesome...thank you awad!

no problem. I'd say four lights, so you can make any background pure white, while using two lights as the background lights. and having the other two being your main and fill or hair light.

personally, i use thee b800s and the alien bees ringflash. but everything i've shot up until the past week was only done with two lights.

I only have three lights and have had no problems getting what I want. If I want high-key I don't need a hair light - been happy firing a strobe behind my 5x7' PVC and white bedsheet diffuser - talk about soft light! Been happy with using a reflector recently with studio work.
