I use umbrellas because I want the specular 'pop' into the skin. plus I want spread into the set, I use photographic white interior on the umbrellas....

a guy using more than 2 lights would probably be better off with soft-boxes for control... something I don't really have issue with using such a small setup...

you can get 1 profoto used for $1000
1 used for 1k. damn. Must be good ;)

Being that I'm not rocking a studio with clients in need... I can probably start a little more lower end. I want quality but I still need to learn the ropes of lighting rigs. I had little experience before with a friend that had a full setup. But never had my own set to experiment with and familiarize with.
