What's the best and most cost efficient way to create good lighting when taking a picture in doors?

Question

I'm going to have a photographer take some pictures of me soon and one of the settings I wanted to do was in a very nice bathroom (weird I know, but long story). She has reservations because she uses a b&w camera with no flash and is worried because there may be little or no outside light. She explained how indoor light is not enough. How can this be remedied without buying one of those huge backlights that are in photog studios?

Answer 1

Put the two previous answers toghether and you have your answer.

Answer 2

Home Depot sells light bulbs that are called 'natural light.' The light is softer that indoor lighting, and won't cause weird reflections and light streaks in pictures. They only cost about $6.

Answer 3

I often use cheap clip lights from home depot, they are around 8 dollars, and 2 or 3 is more than enough for a small room. also, Hold still and extend that exposure,
Cheers!

Answer 4

I am curious about where your mirrors are??? If you have a large vanity they may be able to deflect the light.
