I'm presuming you're interested in a "portrait" studio so here's the "basics" - 15x15 feet is good, at least 2 studio lights on stands (either strobe or hotlights), a big reflector, at least 3 mp camera (although I've done great portraits with under 1 megapixel with a lot of editing/enhancing, bar stool or modeling seat, paper or cloth material for bacgdrops, head and shoulder portraits are best in a small studio. I hope this helps you.
