I am going to buy a Nikon 3200 because my budget is $850. I am not exposed to photography since now. Suggest me a good CAMERA, cheap and worthy LENS, AND if possible a cheap lightning equipment for portfolio shoot, modelling.

I'm assuiming you mean things like headshots, fashion, and nudes when you say 'modelling' so with a budget of 850 dollars you won't be able to afford a camera and lights ideal for that. However there are many techniques you can learn to save on expensive equipment. Ordinary house windows make excellent lighting sources that offer a flattering sideways light during the day, add net curtains or a cloudy day for a softer light. Buying a single large reflector (eith a pro one or a big piece of white card) will allow you to bounce light from a window back onto the model to provide a 'fill'. On camera flash can still be useful by adding a diffuser. There are some available that will mount on the flash socket with a short arm holding a small piece of white plastic in front of the popup flash. Old school photographers sometimes tape a piece of white card or paper in front of the flash to get a bounce or diffuse effect. The best thing to do spend money on, after buying a camera, would be a book or two on photography and lighting, go for ones which provide cheap alternatives to traditional lighting rigs. |
