You may be able to expose a face with them, but likely not expose a face and overexpose a background if you're looking to achieve a result similar to #1. You need a fair bit of light to turn the background pure white. (pardon the rhyme). The setup you're looking at looks like it would do the trick, although I've never used that brand of equipment before. Alternatively, you could just pick up a couple flashes (i.e. if you're a Nikon shooter, a SB800 and a SB600 for example) and use them. I tend to recommend that type of flash for those beginning as the lights are easily stored, portable, and effective. It's up to you. @ Steven,

I was looking at investing in somthing like this a little bit later on for taking photos of my son and family. http://www.karlu.com/product_info.php?products_id=9769 At present i am using lights that were supplied with a light cube, the lights use 2x 3x24w 5000k-5500k but i dont seem to get enought light on the background. Is there any improvements you can recommend with the equipment i already have or am i best to purchase more studio lighting? Thanks in advance. @ Bryan Larson
