7 Steps of how to set up a simple home studio

How to set up a simple home studio

Setting out a home studio at home… Duh~ that’s why they call it home studio. Hahaha

What kind of studio equipment do we need?

1st. Big space to put all our gear in.

2nd .Lighting


There are tons of lighting in the market.The common lighting to be used are the soft box and umbrella.

3rd. The backdrops stand for portrait shooting.

4th . Standard tripod.

5th Wireless remote

This come pretty handy when you are doing photo shoot of products or capturing movement such as water dripping or even yourself.

6th . Probs for themes

Well , sometimes you would want to do some special themes and you need probs such as for a fantasy shoot , you would need wings for angels or probably some costumes. Wow.. costumes.. nice..

7th Models ?

I will be setting up my own home studio when I move to my new place. Hopefully I get a space when I can do it. Wohoo ! Preparation for the studio might take me a long time to but I it will be sweet when I get it started.
