Hello everyone.... I now have the lights and backgrounds. I also bought octobox and umbrella for the strobes. The question is, what's next? I'm contemplating if I would first buy a snoot or a barndoor for a more dramatic effect. Would it be logical to buy them next or should I buy other things like a smaller softbox, color gels, etc? Any suggestions? Pros and cons? Thanks in advance.

after a barndoor most of the succeeding modifiers are DIY- ubanks, book ends, scrims and the most versatile item of all- a sheet of cinefoil. bookends can modify light like no other. i bought a scrim overseas for 230 dollars and found out that i could do do it myself from the exact same material from divisoria for 180 pesos.
