My wife is a teacher, and has gotten me the gig of photographing major school dances (prom, senior ball, etc). I do 2 or 3 jobs a year and make some money. Not crazy money, but worth it. I write the pictures to CD and make about 200 copies. Not a bad gig, it is fun, and I enjoy doing it.
I want to step it up a bit though. Having a green screen would be fun, allow the students to have a little fun with it, and I would be able to recoup the cost of the screen/lighting by charging a little more. Has anybody ever purchased a kit before? Most of the kits that I see on Amazon mention the light stands to be somewhat weak. Some comments mention that it is fine in a studio, but don't expect to take it up and down all the time.
I've got no problem spending more money if it means better quality. The kits on Amazon run a little over $200, but if I spend $400 and know I won't break things setting them up and taking them down a bunch, I'm all for it.
