I am about to work in my own photo studio, and I am new to it so I would like to know what lights I should use.
I think that I want 800 Ws. I wish not to spend more than $1200. I know I should have at least 3.
What books or websites should I look into as well?
Thanks.

I seen some pictures online that have obviously been manipulated on photoshop, but I can't figure out how to do it. The pic are of real people that kinda cartoonish, but still look realistic and high detail on the skin. Does anyone know the tutorial for this effect?

Here are some completed examples of what I want to do:

i mean, we've almost reached a point where Mega pixels in a camera is irrelevant since most people won't blow up images to poster size. I'm thinking improvements on features like IS, more user friendly cameras, smaller and more compact? thanks, your input is appreciated.

still life photographers? I've looked at Sarah Lynch, Lucinda Devlin, and Veronica Bailey. Are there any others?
And also are there any photographers who use barbed wire in their pictures a lot?

I'm grateful for any answers but please don't advise to 'google it', I need names and information as part of a project. Again, thanks in advance

When I look at the mirror, I even look
good than ordinary people that I can see
everyday.
But when I take a picture, I look very ugly
that I can't find someone ugly like I look
in the picture !

It's weird because if another people take
picture they just look as they are.
But if it's me, it looks terrible.

Even if I take a picture of myself reflected
in the mirror, I still get a ugly face.

My eyes are weird or what ?

I have a DSLR, and I went to a high-school football game last week to try and get some good pictures from the stands.

Realize it was dark, and the only lighting I had were the main field lights.

I ended up boosting my ISO to 1600 and using the lowest aperture my lens supported (3.3). Still many of my shots turned out blurred.

Any more advice?

My uncle sent me the pictures he took on a CD because he's not the most adept computer user. I have an account with shutterfly and photoworks, but I don't see how to download all the pictures from an album at once. I know you can right click on each picture, but that takes forever.

My uncle wants to have all the pictures from several people to put together a nice album for Christams.

How would you pose a heavyset couple so that it flatters them. I'm being serious not joking...

I need some ideas because I was burned bad before by a photographer who called my fiance and I fat (ok we're not supermodels..but i would like them to look nice)

Need to create a graphic design student guide as an assignment, for students to enroll into the course. We where given all the information, just need to do the formatting.

Does anyone have any examples or ideas?

Would you do something funky or stylish?

I'm curious as to what one lens the serious shooters in here most covet.

You may list two if you can't decide on just one. Please explain why you want to add your choices to your camera bag.

I have two:

Minolta 35mm f2.8 SHIFT CA:

This lens is a "perspective control" lens used to photograph buildings and eliminate the "falling backwards" look you get when you tilt the camera up to get the entire building in the frame. It also has "Variable Field Curvature" which allows you to "curve" the plane of focus for concave or convex objects. Rare. Expensive.

Minolta 17mm f4:

The widest rectilinear lens they offered. 104 degree angle of view with zero distortion of vertical lines. Rare. Pricey.
