Portable lighting for wedding photography business

11 years 7 months ago #252403 by Tony Imaging
Wife and I are expanding our super part time photography business, to going full time. We are making a number of upgrades and one happened to be lighting gear. We are looking at Photoflex, Elinchrom or Hensel for the studio lights, but was looking for something for more portable work. What do you think of the Dynalite lights?

Those all are good choices, what are you looking to spend here? That's going to make all the difference.

Yet another topic that I need to learn more about. One blogger out there likes Quantum -

But with so many brands it's hard to know what's up. :blink:

I'm hoping to stay under $6,000 total for lights

Yup. If the time ever comes that I need such gear, my approach will be to find a seller (or two) I prefer first. At least that should narrow all those brands down!
