Create a Photo Studio at home with Budget

The camera

When you have a photo budget, a significant part of it must involve the purchase of the camera. From a quality standpoint and for the use of a photo studio home, we recommend you buy an SLR with a 18-55 or 24-70.

It is also essential that you understand the usefulness of each feature offered by your device. In particular, it is necessary to understand what are the shutter speed, aperture and sensitivity and also how to solve them on your device. Finally learn how to use these settings: practice in this case is the best school (a little bit you know the basics of course!).

Light

Light is a very important consideration: it determines the quality, appearance, possible effects on your photograph.

Lighting daylight

We'll start by looking at the lighting. You can, if your budget allows, purchase a lighting "continuous light", which offers the highest quality of a photographic point of view. Coupled filters "Daylight", lighting and rendering will be even better.

Then, in terms of Flash, we recommend that you purchase at least 2 flashes up to 250 watts each with umbrellas. You'll need to couple these strobes flash of 150 watts that will be useful for extra effects.

Infrared Flash Trigger

Then, buy an infrared flash trigger (to trigger remote flashes your sources with ease, without resorting to numerous cables) with a sync cord.

Reflector

Finally, as regards the reflection of light, the ideal is to acquire a reflective silver and gold, on foot. This reflector can quickly and effectively monitor the reflected light then.

Other hardware

For the bottom of your studio, you should drop the paper (white, black) 2m72 with a fastening system and coil chain. Couple that with a black background and if possible a cloth to cover the ground (black or white). Also provide a counterweight to prevent it not rise at ground level. This counter will also limit the deterioration of paper.

Finally, once all the hardware installed correctly, it is essential to do tests. Test equipment, but also and especially test light. The brightness is not it too bright or too lacking? The subject or the subject well is highlighted? Rendering on the camera but also on the photograph itself is satisfactory?

If the answer to either of these questions is no, then you will need to move the facility to see changed elements of it.
