Is the 750 w. successive light sufficient liughtness for receiving stills of my design for the catalogue ?

Should we lease the Profoto 1200 Acute instead ? They pronounced it was as well most energy for the tiny shooot.

WHat kind of lighting should we make use of for repository shoots ?

You want indirect natural light. Try facing your art toward a window on a slightly overcast day (where there is some light coming through the window, but it’s not beams of bright light). and taking it then.

the 750W should be fine,

I like the Alien Bees B800 – http://www. alienbees. com/flash. html
You can get by with one and a softbox.

Actually you should have at least 2 lights. A main light and a fill light. The main should be at a 45 degree angle to the subject and about 3 feet higher than the camera. The fill should be right next to the camera at the same height as the camera. You want a 1 to 3 lighting ratio. That set up will give you pro results.
