Hi there,

im wondering if I could get some help with choosing some strobe and continuous lighting.
Even though I am learning I don't really want to buy cheap Chinese stuff. I'd prefer to but once if you know what I mean..I therefore have about $2500 to spend on lighting whereby I'd like to take/learn portraits of various kinds.
Ive looked at the elfinchrome dlite 4 and Bowen gemeni 500 w kit etc but with no experience is unsure what to go for. I can push the budget a bit more if necessary but I'd like to purchase backgrounds wireless receiver/transmitter etc.
i would be very keen to hear from people who could point me in the right direction..

Secondly, would you know of any photographers open to some one on one tutorials. Nothing high end just someone able to teach the basics of portraiture etc..

thankyou..
