I need some guidance...


I'm currently set up and focused (no pun) on live action sports but I'm being asked about portraits and I want to get started. My plan was to eventually do senior potraits both outdoors and in. I plan to attend some PS classes in January andI have the following equipment:


Canon EOS 7D & 20D


16-35mm 2.8L


24-70mm 2.8L


70-200mm 2.8L IS


135mm 2L


50mm 1.4


70-300mm 4-5.6 IS


Canon 430 EX II Flash


My next lense is the 85mm 1.2L and I can't wait to get my hands on that one....but I need to sell some pix first.


So....I need to get some diffused light and backgrounds / drops. I have no idea how to start or even what questions to ask. How much do I need to spend....what type of lighting needs etc..


If anyone could give me a list with purpose for each item....it would be greatly appreciated. We can start the discussion with the list.


Cheers,
