I have my own studio and it's extremely budget built. I was using ebay and used stuff whenever it was possible.Still,only background stand is $60. Add paper or muslin and it's over $100 And lights...Hot lights are not model friendly. If you are doig fashion photography,god forbid you drop one of those on a model, you'll get sued right away,for serious burns. Not to mention,they run extremely hot. In studio lighting,nothing bellow 200,is even possible. Plus chinese cheap stuff that you can see being sold on ebay,break within months. You may think you saved some money initially,but you'll loose in the long run. And how about professional appearance. No client will want to pay you 1000s of $$,if they see duct tape all over the place Just a thought... Cheers, Dmitri Can’t see the link,but you always get what you pay for.
