I am a freelance photographer and am ready to purchase some lighting equipment. I have been using natures light, but in the winter I do more indoor shots. However, I travel to the clients homes, so I need something portable.

      I use Lowel Tota-lights (750 watt lamps) with umbrellas

      Those and a portable background stand

      I also take a 42 inch multi-reflector (black, white, gold and silver)

      Both from B&H Photo

      You can make backgrounds or buy them at your local professional camera store.
