- Lights... most costly. Anywhere between $1,000 to $3,000 over all for decent to high end.
- Reflectors. about $100 for two.
- Rod to hold paper and/or muslins less than $30 at a home supply. Add a bit more for mounting hardware. I roll of balck paper, $70 and 1 Muslin $75 (being nice). $180 total....ballpark.
- Paint... $50 for 2 gallons... worst case.
- Lenses. Varies widely. A good mid range zoom $400. Good Mid to long zoom $400.

After considerring all the costs mentioned above, if you decide you STILL want to get your own studio ... consider all the things you'll want to buy after a few months ... like some furniture -- Cha-Ching$$$ ... more props Cha-Ching$$$ ... different backgrounds Cha-Ching$$$.
And then one day you're driving to your cool studio to shoot with a TFP model (who won't show up) ... and you suddenly realize how much gas you're wasting and how much time your wasting just getting to and from your cool studio - CHA-CHING$$$$ CHA-CHING$$$$
No thinks! Been there ... done that ... now shoot in my HOME STUDIO!
Here's a shot taken in my Home Studio!
The end!
