How To: Self tape (Lighting) 

Move your lights closer to the back wall. Move yourself from your background and use the “dab” rule for length from you to your key light. Adjust from there. Set your key light first and adjust the fill once key is set. Like he said. You can probably get away with 2.

Hello! I have an umbrella that I’ll sometimes use if I don’t have enough time to set up my soft box! It’s nice to just stick the umbrella on sometimes due to time restraints but I have found that the soft box still gives a more flattering light in me. I love the t6i! I know that the kit lens that comes with it isn’t always the sharpest but it definitely works well for what you’re needing! I have a 50mm and love it due to the low f aperture and the sharpness of it so if you are looking at buying it I’d recommend but you absolutely don’t have to if you just want to use your 18-55

@@WillemButler thank you for the reply!! I ordered the 50mm lens and will be trying it out. I also ordered umbrella lights and will see how that goes, if not I will return them and try the soft boxes. Thanks again! :)

Oh my gosh thank you for letting me know! I’ve had a few friends get them and they’ve never had problems with them but let me look for some better reviewed soft boxes!
