How To Change A Portion Of Your Home Into A Temporary Studio

By Cindy Miller


Building a makeshift studio is a normal thing to do for photographers who engage in do-it-yourself photography. Although this kind of studio may not completely copy the structure that professional photographers are occupying, budding photographers can find ways to set up the right lighting sources and make their temporary studio acceptable enough for indoor shoots.

To make the studio adequately spacious, novice photographers should remove any obstructions, such as storage containers and pieces of furniture. Photographers should also cover open spaces with dark, thick clothes or paper. They should also choose to retain existing light sources for practical reasons.

The next thing to do when doing a makeshift studio is thinking how and where to install the backdrop. The wall on which the backdrop will be installed should have no obstacles. Pushpins are usually used in adhering light backdrops to the wall. Pushpins don't leave big holes in the wall. But it will not do a good job when the backdrop that will be attached is heavy. If this is the case, photographers will have to use backdrop stands.

Investing in additional set of lighting equipment is also a key requirement for photographers who want to specialize in studio photography. Studio photographers are aware that they cannot make room lights their ultimate light source because these types of light are difficult to manipulate. Moreover, a studio photographer will need a reflector to make sure that the light is balance from all corners of the room.

For cloudy weather and the photographer does not have all the lighting equipment yet, they can be creative by shooting with slow shutter speed. A tripod is necessary when this photography mode is on. For the the person that is being photographed to avoid posing still for too long, indoor photographers should use the highest ISO when shooting with slow shutter speed.

DIY photography is all about being resourceful. The more resourceful a novice photographer is, the more he is likely to succeed in whatever kind of photography style he or she chooses to deal with--- whether it is classic family portrait, portrait photography, or Family photography.
