    theres this kind of thing,

    or this
    http://www.adverts.ie/other-photography/1000w-photo-studio-continuous-light-kit-soft-boxes/1457247

    but i think if you put a sheet in front of a bright window, took the photo in front of the window, and could do the rest of the editing in a programme like photoshop elements which is fairly cheap around €80, as long as you took the photo right then youd probably get good results on a budget.
