Hello Nikon!

I agree. 3d Modelling is what may turn things around in post-production lighting.

There should be a setting in your phone app to make all uploads private by default.

Yep bring them all with you, see how you get on.

canon 85mm 1.8 would be a good choice

There is not really a cheap solution. Yep more power from studio strobes used in conjunction with ND filters to achieve required dof

The reflector will help you get an even coverage of light on the background. You may still need additional flagging but it will depend on placement.

I don't think you should give up, but understand it may just take a bit of time even if you had the right equipment. Gary may sell a brand but his advise is and always has been sound and although I have not experience with Lencarta, at you price point it maybe a good place to start. Grab...

To light evenly you will need two lights on the background. Try to light the background with your existing lights and see how it goes from there. It is posible to get by with one light but it depends on what you want.

I have not used my speedlights since i got the quadra's so I sold my ex's and got EZ's The A Head have a faster flash duration, The S Head bulbs apparently last longer and are a bit cheaper. It is a great bit of kit.

Canon 85 1.8 is not as lush as the 1.2 but is a great lens. 100 Macro, 135 2.0 and 200 2.8 are also great for portraits depending on your requirements

Flash is great, but when starting out is brings a new set of variables to take into account. I would say start to learn to shoot in manual in available light getting your exposure right and using a reflector. Get a reflector and Understanding exposure
