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?

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

2^nd .Lighting

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

3^rd. The backdrops stand for portrait shooting.

4^th . Standard tripod.

You would want to get a better tripod for portrait shoot as those normal tripod you get from buying the camera deal is pretty useless . Using a DSLR with a heavy telephoto zoom lenses with a aluminum tripod isn’t exactly a bright idea.

5^th Wireless remote

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

6^th . 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..

7^th Models ?

You either hired a model or ask a friend to pose for you. Well, lets face it , we are not going to hire Victoria Secret’s super model , (ooo, how I wish) . I suggest that you should start with a friend. You will get to learn more as you go. And normally guys would

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.

Short talk #6 :New camera

I got a new camera a few weeks ago. It is awesome... a Nikon D300. Hahaha, havent been using it much yet but hopefully i will be able to do my own photo shoot when i come back onshore.

Looking forward in joining the photography classes too. Wohoo , kinda like a kid all over again.

Short talks #5

I used to think going to Perth is my way of running away from all those bad memories. Sometimes , when i am alone in the empty house , cold weather .. you will feel so lonely , so cold and empty inside.

The more that i laugh or i smile , it hurts me back inside. Even heater and electric blanket can't warm your heart. Then you will start thinking .. Why da hell i come here... so far away from home.. eating breads and instant soup when back home ,you can taste mom's hot and tasty chicken soup.

I was so empty that i started taking up tons of new founded hobbies.. going to flying schools , joing the Kungfu academy (only once thou) , learning to how use my DSLR. All those are great hobbies but that indicates i am searching for something to fill emptiness.

One day , i finally found GOD. He filled my empty heart so fast when you accept him. Then i realized , hey , i am in Perth for a reason.. To live a new life , to experience what i have now ,to fill my empty heart with GOD's love.

I am truly blessed and it's all thanks to The BIG GUY.

And of course my family and friends that were there when i needed them the most.

Hahaha ,finally. i can live my life to fullest.

Cheers.

It's been a while since i blog.. Haha , not that there's a lot of people reading it. Anways here are the updates that will be coming soon.

1. First modeling photo shoot
2. My flying school

Hopefully , i will get a good model for my shoot.

Short talk #4

When i was reading this book... okie.. comic or what ever you would like to call it. I would referred it as a "book".

I read something interesting it's about American football. In this sports , it's all about physical strenght and tactics.

There were this conversation between this two footballer , one with amazing physically abilities and the other one with extremely well tactics.

They worked very together..

A: We could have been the strongest tag team ever if you have physical abilities par with mine.

B: We don't have time to ask for things we don't have. We can only look for the best way we can fight with the things we have for our whole life.

That actually englightens me a little. I realized that in life , we always ask for more things. What if this and what if that.....We should accept the things we have now and learn how use it.

I hope by doing that ..tomorrow will be a better place for all of us.

Interesting conversations.

Me : why do they have different designs for those 40 wd greese spray cans?

Hunter : Well , perhaps they want to sell it for money ? Ppl will say , wohoo , nice design , lets buy them .

Hunter : Oh f**k ya , i want to kill them not lubricate them.

Me : -_- ... Hahhahaha
