How to Boost the Available Light


I photography dogs - mostly outdoors, but sometimes I am forced to shoot indoors. I am looking to buy some extra lighting for when the natural light is just not enough. I want something very portable. Help?

Hi Sherri,
I like using monolights when I shoot dogs. The real problem is not what light you use, but learning to use it. When you work outdoors, you capture an image that you see, or to put it another way, you take a photograph. When you are responsible for lighting an image, you make the photograph. Not only do you put the elements of an image together, you can decide the angle, color and quality of the light that makes the shot. Alien Bee and Calumet, along with several others, make good monolights.
Thanks,
