INVEST IN LIGHTS PROPERLY
Lights are an integral part of any studio and there are all sorts of it.
Hot Lights: These are the traditional tungsten lights that burn continuously.
Warm Lights: These are the fluorescent lights that consume much less power than the bulbs.
Cold Lights: These are the electronic flash light, just like the camera light,but more powerful than that.
THE BACKGROUND
