If you are really interested in mastering studio photography lighting I would recommend taking a look at Scott Smith's website, www.lightingmagic.com , it is a wonderful site. Scott is an award winning photographer and completely shares his expertise, which is so rare to find as photographers tend to protect their trade secrets. I had purchased a novatron setup and was getting average results and after purchasing his book, my results increased dramatically. I attended Scott's lighting workshop this past weekend in Ft. Worth and it was simply amazing. You'll quickly learn that umbrellas and softboxes are not the way to go for studio work. Diffusion panels and barn door lighting gives you unlimited control. A balanced light setup is critical and if your setup is truly balanced, your modeling lights will let you see exactly what the scene will look like on film before you ever press the shutter. Scott is a wonderful teacher and explains things in an easy to understand fashion. If you should get the chance to attend one of his workshops, I would highly recommend it. It will immediately and significantly change your photographic skills and you will learn that it's not where you put the lights, but where you put the light. Scott has taught me how to view and paint with light.
