get three cheap clamp on lights from a hardware store.
four 1x2 boards five or six feet long.
three halogen bulbs or daylight balanced cfls.
four empty paint cans.
gravel.
4-5 spring clamps and white foam core.
Kodak Greycard.

screw the boards inside the paint cans and fill with gravel. there are your cheap light stands.
add a clamp light to each stand and secure with an addition spring clamp.
use two clamps to secure a foam core board to the last stand, there is your reflector.

use the grey card to get your exposure and color balance.

cheap as it gets really...
