You may want to dig up some of the Dean Collins books that showed how to
make you own studio lighting on the cheap with PVC tubing and inexpesive
light sources. I never tried it but seemed reasonable to me. However, there
is a lot to be said for the quality of well done strobe lighting with black
and white film, but that all depends on what you are after.
Good luck,
