I bought photographic lighting 1500 Watts is tis enough for fashion photography?



I bought the JTL1500 watt lighting system with boom for overhead lighting. I am a fashion designer and want to photograph my clothing on models. Will this be enough light or do I need something more intense like a 3000 watt system?

It should be plenty for what you are doing.

I use one Tota-Light with umbrella and a fill card (reflector) to shoot models most of the time and it is plenty. Your three light set up will be very easy to control shooting without an assistant.

1500 w/s is more than sufficient for what you are doing granted you are not working on location and trying to light up a football field. Of course there are occasions when 3000w/s might come in handy such as capturing action at F64 with 50 ISO film how many times do you need to do that. Anyhow, I would not focus so much on how many watt seconds your power pack puts out, but rather the quality of the lighing and what kind of light modifiers you have: umbrellas, softboxes, honeycomb grids,gels, snoots etc... These are the things which give mood to your light. I personally can deal with low power output powerpacks like 400 and 800 w/s packs, but I can't do without my light modifiers. I suggest if you haven't gotten any that you check out B&H or any professional photo store.
