Photography Lighting equipment is often very expensive and sometimes you have to pay for quality. However, just because a product does not have a well known branded name, it does not mean that it’s of poor quality or wont do the job just as well as a premium brand name.

For example, if you take Godox, just over five years ago, no one would have taken them seriously, just look at where they are now and what the provide.

You learn more about lighting and gear via experience and I have made a few purchasing mistakes, but if you learn from your mistakes, they can be very productive. So if you are just starting out with flash you will find information and links to products and solutions to some of the mistakes I made, which will help save both your time and money.
