If you want to go really cheap, for a couple of hundred dollars, you can get quartz halogen yard lights and stands at most building supply stores. Pick up an 80A filter to correct the light, figure out a way to diffuse the light without burning anything, and you are on your way. Check some of the bigger camera stores in your area (sorry, I don't know how unhandy it is to go to Toronto from where you are) and see what they have. You can do quite nice portraits with only 2 lights, and a bit of imaginative reflecting. William Robb
