So let's recommend a lighting kit if you're first starting out.
It's easier just to go buy very cheap homemade lights you can go to Home Depot or you can use paper
lanterns you may find it somewhere like Ikea.
We're going to talk more about this in the lighting section in this course.
Another great way to use cheap home lighting is just grabbing the lights around your house.
You may have some nice lights around your bed in your living room that you can kind of move up close
to you or use their ambient light to light your subjects.
Another great technique that I use all the time is just putting your subject or yourself or whoever
you're shooting next to a window.
There's nothing better than the free light coming from the sun although you are going to be sort of
slave to the weather.
However soft lighting is usually nicer and if you have harsh lighting coming through window you can
always use it as a backlight.
You'll just be erasing the sun for mid-tier lighting.
You can go three different ways.
You can rent a lighting kit for your shoot.
You can find a cheap new kit online somewhere or you can buy a pro use kit online somewhere.
So if you're going to pro-level I would suggest going into the lady world.
We use lights made by like here and there LCD lights LCD lights are great because they don't put off
a lot of heat.
They draw very little power.
They're dimmable and you can bicolor them which means you can have them be tungsten light or you can
have them be daylight to match the sun lighting really depends on different projects and different locations.
You can really figure out what light you need based on the project that you're shooting.
So it's kind of hard to really invest in one light that will encompass your entire project unless you're
doing something specific all the time.
You can really get away with natural light if you're shooting outdoors a lot.
And if you have a home office set up it's really easy just set up lights and leave them year round whether
it be a China ball or a Home Depot.
