I'm looking to set myself up with some lighting equipment, I will mainly be shooting some portraits and automotive (stationary). I'm working on a bit of a budget, being a student, so here's what I'm thinking of going for.

Currently have

580 EXII
Yongnuo 622 triggers (one set)
Tripod to use as lighting stand (not ideal)

About to buy

Yongnuo YN568EX
Yongnuo 622 triggers (second set)
Cheap and cheerful lighting stand
Umbrella
Softbox
Reflector

Main question is for what I'm looking to shoot, and when I say portraits it will quite often be outdoor work with a little bit in a make shift home studio, am I looking at investing in the right kit?

Also what kind of thing am I looking for as far as brollies and softboxes go? I figured for the time being one of each gives me some room to play about (not done much with off camera lighting)
