Hello! Great lighting, composition and exposure You really are a Master. I'm trying to buy a light kit to get portraits like this. I'm a beginner and I would apreciate you advice, what kind of light would you recomend to me I sue canon XTI. Thank you. Regards. Lighting Question

Thanks for taking interest in my photos! You can start with two elinchrome23 studio lights. One as the main light fitted with large soft box, other one as the fill light fitted with small soft box. Do experimentation with two lights than you can go for any additional light as the need may arise.Regarding the lighting on photo in question, I have used light from a large window, my friend.

 

Best regards,
