Basic Essential Gear for your Home or Small Photography Studio Set Up

[@chrisrogers1081]

Thank you, a great video that gives a realistic idea of how to set up a home studio. The first professional that hasn't said you need a truck full of "C" stands.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

LOL, I find them too heavy to be practical.

[@sergiooliveira4351]

Nice tips!! Umbrellas (deep ones with diffusion) for small spaces are a winner choice! Big and soft light. thks

[@mablewaldrop8367]

This is so well informed and exactly what I need as I am a beginner photographer and am in the process of setting up one of my rooms as a studio. Thank you so much Jiggy. I wish you would do one on the best wall colors to use instead of using backdrops

[@docp7016]

Thanks for the tips. So many of us have to use multiple use rooms for our studios.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

and having a portable setup really helps in that regard

[@PorkyPhotito]

I don't have my own space yet but i have a portable setup with similar kit. I'm saving up for those wonderfully made collapsible backdrops. :)

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

They are very nice and practical

[@lawrencelay2299]

got everything set. but now the goals are to get AC strobes for a mix of function and power. backdrops, well, can't afford what you're using but planning to get affordable alternatives. hahaha (oh, as to that word you need to use with the elinchrom stand, it might be 'spring cushion' lol)

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

I remembered after actually it's "air cushion", but then I forgot to put it in the video :P

[@algiemadlansacay4682]

I still use muslin cloth for my back drop and I only have white and black. Those textured backdrop are amazing. Thank you for this Sir Jiggie. :)

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Yeah the handprinted ones are amazing

[@gabrielto4990]

Yes! I'll keep this in mind.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

:)

[@webmoster0000]

While you were discussing about the lightstand, I remembered having encountered that kind of stand and I think it is called air-cushioned or something like that. Nice video by the way. Was also setting up a small home studio a while back and I used 2 speedlights and 1 studio light, problem is I don't have enough modifier. haha

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Yeah air cushioned stands! Lol. It’s nice having a small studio, allows you to properly control light

[@glenfordjaca7187]

Thank you Sir Jiggie for the tips! Looking forward for more videos.

Dear Jiggi, this video is so impressing, and I decided to buy an umbrella like this, but, there is no word about the modifiers size. What is the biggest size of modifier recomended for speedlight and which is the size what needs studio strobe?

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

you can check the description :)

[@THE_ZAINTS]

sir good day po... sir ano po floor size wall to drop back po? and ano po minimum lens na dapat po na gamitin? thanks po..

[@lrf1978]

As your studio has a white floor the black mat has indeed a function. Without it you would always have light reflected from the floor...

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Well if you look at it that way then yeah. But normally I still do like controlling the spill of my lightsb

Hello, I am building a small photo studio, 15'x16'x8' I want to paint everything in matt...white maybe a wall in gray, and the floor is bright gray vinyl. My question is how many walls to paint in gray? I will be doing small family portraits, planning to have 9' x3 rolls of seamless paper mounted on one wall. Potentially around holidays to have some holiday 2 or 3 backdrops in...also which lights do you recommend?

Another great video. I have one question on the Phottix Premio 120cm Umbrella. Is it still being made? I went to Amazon and could not find it. I went to B&H (largest and best US vendor of photographic equipment) and they list Phottix Premio 47 inch (120 cm) as Discontinued. This would have been perfect for my space. I am looking for something equivalent if you have any suggestions. BTW I am in the US.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Oh sorry, I didn't know that. Anyway any silver reflective umbrella from B&H should be good, just make sure to get the optional diffuser. It works wonders
