So, no fancy lighting for me right now. LOL. If worklights actually do the job, then I'm heading to Home Depot ASAP!!  |
you can do it, the negatives are the heat issue, power bill, and high ISO is needed...
I got my monolight strob for $50 from adorama, and if you already have a lightstand to use it shouldn't be a problem, if you need a lightstand they shouldn't cost much... I recommend looking for cheap monolights.

To start out I would stick with the one light you can do a lot of stuff with a single light strob in a studio, once you get spending cash then invest into more monolight studio strobs.
