You don't need expensive lights! Here's my $87 setup: 18" ring light from Amazon ($45), two small LED panels ($30 for the pair), and natural window light when possible. The key is positioning, not price. Happy to share my setup photos.

Would love to see your setup photos! I've been struggling with shadows. Do you position the LED panels as fill lights? Also curious what ring light size you recommend.

Great tips! I'd add that golden hour lighting (sunrise/sunset near a window) is free and looks professional. I save my best content ideas for when the natural lighting is perfect.
