in what order should i buy photography equipement for my studio?

[babytarantula]

Hi i am an amateur photographer wanting to start my business in this field. I already found some contracts before without any studio nor equipement (only my canon rebel) by simply doing outdoor shoots. Now i want to have my own studio.



I am a dreamer but still i don't want to invest too much in it in case it doesn't work out so my idea is to reinvest my profit only. What i am asking you pros is: if you had a particular order in which you would buy your equipement, what would be that order and equipement? thanks.



Let's say i have a nice loft with nothing in it and want to shoot amateur models mostly...



I am asking you this because the most common answer i guess will be to invest in starter light kits at first but i was thinking of maybe investing first on a nice piece like a very large Elichrom octo box. This way i will easily differenciate myself from competitors, what do you guys think?



Thanks
