depends on the mood you want and what you mean by "basic shot". its quite tough with one light - its mono-directional! but with two or more you can achieve different results, and get creative.

for passport photos, you can get away with one light.

i don't know the price diff in the US, but for the money i'll plonk into lighting, ill go with proper studio strobes (unless you want to use them for videography too at some point).

first one looks like a 3-light setup, the second will require a snoot or fresnel spot (hollywood light).
