What type of photography lighting kit should I get?
I want my photographs to look like the ones you get done at a proper place.
eg. – http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=photography+of+family&um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbnid=0rhIoWk0hjF0HM:&imgrefurl=http://www.linnealenkus.com/families2.html&docid=QCvfqNQCAvBIcM&w=425&h=425&ei=SOk3To_VFoig8QPs0aCBAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=409&vpy=292&dur=1031&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=112&ty=111&page=2&tbnh=166&tbnw=163&start=24&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:24&biw=1280&bih=685
Bright white screen and everything. Been looking on ebay but just don’t know which one to get!! I want it within a £180 price range if poss.
Thanks
That shot is done with a key/fill light setup & background light almost certainly in a studio. You can buy basic 2-3 head starter kits – but you also need to know about photography & lighting – this sort of thing is not done in Auto modes!!
A cheaper option would be to start of with speedlights (more portable) and triggers. Have a look at the Strobist blog – all you need to know there on off camera lighting;

A couple of speedlights will cost around £30 each, triggers £18. You’ll need a softbox or umbrella or two – that’s another £40 or so.
