Speedlights for extended studio session Hi everyone, I need to take about 200 portraits for a church directory (each board member and then each family that attends), and I'm wondering how much it will suck logistically to power the whole thing using speedlights.

Basically, I'm looking to do the usual 3 light setup with my yongnuo 560s, key, fill, and hair. I have a 48" octobox key, a 36" umbrella for fill and I might bare bulb for hair... I've done this setup before, but I'm worried about logistics like overheating, extra batteries, uneaven (and slow) recharge times. Also worried about the power output for lighting families (max 6 members). I'm planning to use one set of triggers and the rest optical slave.

I don't really have the budget for monolights but if I could swing it, I'd only get one, and I'm not sure how much that helps with logistics.

How bad does it suck to use speedlights all day?

Thanks!
